Two Bedouin teens arrested on suspicion of planning to steal weapons from IDF bases for terror purposes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice and Shin Bet agents arrested two Bedouin Israeli teenagers from the Negev on suspicion of plotting to steal weapons from IDF bases to carry out a terror attack, spokespeople for the agencies say in a joint statement.
The two suspects, aged 17 and 18, planned to sell some of the stolen weapons to “terrorist operatives” in the West Bank, and use what remained to “carry out security offenses against Israeli targets,” the statement reads. They are also suspected of attempting to recruit a minor into their plot.
The Southern District Attorney’s Office filed a “very serious” indictment against the pair today in the Beersheba District Juvenile Court, after a joint investigation by the Shin Bet and the police’s investigations and intelligence unit.
