Police officers arrest three individuals just outside the Holy Family Hospital in Nazareth on suspicion of planning a deadly attack inside the medical facility.
The three masked men were caught in a stolen car with stolen plates in the parking lot of the hospital with two loaded guns and a bottle of lighter fluid that police believe was intended to set the car alight following the attack. In bodycam video of the incident shared by police, officers can be seen ordering the suspects out of the car at gunpoint before arresting them.

“We see once again that the war among criminal organizations has no boundaries,” says Northern District Commander Shuki Tahauko. “Were it not for the brave actions of the police officers, we could have found ourselves in a very different outcome to this incident, including loss of life and even harm to uninvolved innocents inside the hospital.”
