Security forces arrested this morning three wanted members of a terrorist cell who had been plotting an imminent attack, police say.
After receiving intelligence about their whereabouts from the Shin Bet, officers in the police’s Yamam counter-terror unit and Shin Bet agents arrested two suspects within Israeli territory in Barta’a, an Arab village bisected by the Green Line.
Later that day, IDF soldiers disguised as civilians raided the home of another member of the cell in the northern West Bank, arresting him.
The three detained suspects are to be questioned by Shin Bet officials.
