Arab-Israeli Conflict

Israeli forces arrest 9 Palestinians over plot to attack IDF with explosive devices

Israel’s security establishment works tirelessely against Palestinian incitement and terrorism to ensure the safety of its citizens.

Israeli security forces arrested eight Palestinians from Samaria and one from Jerusalem on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities in Samaria and of planning to carry out attacks in central Israel, the Shin Bet (Israel’s Security Agency) revealed last week following the lifting of a gag order on the case.

Shin Bet investigations revealed that the terrorists had been plotting numerous large attacks against IDF troops in Samaria using explosive devices, and had conspired with the Jerusalem resident to smuggle 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of explosives into the capital to build pipe bombs.

The Shin Bet also said that during its investigation, it discovered and confiscated laboratory equipment and 120 kilograms (265 pounds) of raw material used for making explosives.

In related news, Israeli security forces conducted counter-terrorism operations in Judea and Samaria and arrested four Arabs in connection with acts of terrorism, two of them members of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terror organization.
