Israel arrests 3 suspected of throwing explosive that injured IDF troops in West Bank

Police and Shin Bet agents arrested three people on suspicion of throwing an explosive device at IDF troops in the West Bank town of Tubas, the agencies announce.

The three were detained Sunday at the start of the week after allegedly hurling the IED at Israeli forces, moderately injuring two soldiers and fleeing the scene the evening prior.

Responding to the ambush, Shin Bet agents set up checkpoints in the area, questioned suspects, held “warning conversations” with residents and took down signs inciting to terror, a spokesperson says.

According to law enforcement, the suspects confessed to throwing the explosive device at soldiers during an interrogation by West Bank district police investigators.
