A West Bank Palestinian illegally residing in Israel, who is suspected of involvement in terror activities, was arrested earlier this week, police say.
According to the police, the suspect, in his 20s, from the Balata camp near Nablus, was nabbed by detectives of the Kfar Qasim station in central Israel.
He is suspected of building explosive devices and of other “acts of terror” against Israeli soldiers, police say, adding that he was handed over to the Shin Bet domestic security agency for interrogation.
