Third suspect in possible Jewish terror plot arrested
A third Israeli teen has been arrested in connection with a major security probe whose details are under gag order, according to the Honenu legal aid organization, which is representing two of the suspects.
The latest suspect was arrested in the town of Modiin.
The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Shin Bet security service and the police’s nationalistic crime unit, which are probing the incident as a possible Jewish terror plot.
Earlier this morning, a squad of Shin Bet agents and officers in the Yasam police SWAT unit raided a yeshiva in the northern West Bank and arrested a suspect, who has since been prevented from speaking to a lawyer, a Honenu spokesman said.
An additional teen was arrested on his way to the yeshiva and has also been prevented from meeting with an attorney, his lawyer Itamar Ben Gvir said.
