Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThree Palestinians were arrested last week for attempting to plant a bomb at a security fence near Jerusalem, Border Police say.
Security forces observed a suspicious car approaching the fence near Tira (and the settlement of Beit Horon) on Monday. Three Palestinians then assembled the makeshift explosives, which included a gas tank, targeting Israeli troops, according to the police account on Sunday.
Israeli security forces arrested two of the suspects at the scene. A third suspect, who managed to flee, was arrested on Tuesday.
Sappers were then summoned to dismantle the bomb.
The suspects were Palestinians from the village of Bayt Duqu, aged 17-19, according to police. They were indicted on Thursday in the Ofer Military Court.
