Police, the IDF and the Shin Bet say they arrested three Palestinians suspected of attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers over the past two years.
The attacks included planting bombs, throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at vehicles and more.
“One of the serious incidents occurred on January 21, 2024, when the three attacked an Israeli bus carrying about 30 civilians,” a statement says. “The suspects threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the bus, and as a result of the attack, the bus driver was injured in the chest. By sheer luck, the driver managed to stop the vehicle just before it rolled down into a valley.”
In another incident in August 2024, the suspects combined an improvised explosive device with a gas balloon and detonated it near an Israeli settlement, though no one was hurt.
The three have confessed to the charges and have been indicted, the statement says.
