The Shin Bet internal security service says the three suspected terrorists killed in the West Bank were planning attacks that were to be carried out in the immediate future.

The terror group had already carried out a shooting attack near the West Bank city of Tulkarem, the Shin Bet says.

The suspects opened fire on Israeli forces, who responded with lethal gunfire, the Shin Bet says.

Israeli troops found weapons and grenades in the suspects’ vehicle.

Army radio posts a photo said to show the weapons found with the suspects, including an M16 assault rifle with an IDF logo on it and grenades. IDF weapons are sometimes stolen and sold on the black market.
