IDF arrests 4 Palestinians with firebombs, explosives near Nablus

Israeli soldiers arrest four Palestinians armed with firebombs and an explosive device, which the military says it believes they planned to use to carry out a terror attack.

The military says the suspects are arrested outside of Nablus in the northern West Bank. Two Molotov cocktails and the bomb are found in their possession, the Israel Defense Forces says.

The four suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet security service for further investigation.

“The IDF will continue to preserve the security of the area and will thwart attempted terror attacks,” the military says.
