One cell, whose members are activists of the “Popular Front,” carried out shooting attacks against vehicles on a road in the West Bank and against an IDF post in Nabi Salah (also in the West Bank). The cell was also allegedly responsible for Molotov cocktail and pipe bomb attacks. During interrogation, the statement from Shin Bet reads, the cell members turned in four rifles as well as rounds of ammunition.

They admitted to having made plans for further attacks.

The second cell, whose members are residents of Kfar Bnai Na’im, carried out several shooting attacks in November 2014 against Israeli cars traveling on Route 60 near Kiryat Arba.
