Three Palestinians suspected of planning to carry out an imminent terror attack were detained earlier today, the Shin Bet security agency says.
One of the suspects was arrested on the Route 6 highway in central Israel this afternoon after a vehicle with 12 other Palestinians was stopped by police officers.
The other two suspects were detained by IDF troops later in the day at their homes in the West Bank, following the interrogation of the Palestinian detained on Route 6.
The trio are from the West Bank town of Bani Naim, near Hebron, according to the Shin Bet.
The Shin Bet says weapons that would have been used in the attack were seized at the homes of the other two cell members.
All three are currently being questioned by the security agency.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
