Israeli security forces arrested two Palestinian terrorists near Shechem (Nablus) on their way to carry out a shooting attack, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said on Sunday.

The terrorists were identified as Ahmed Zakharna, 21, and Tariq Abu Zeid, 25. The two residents of Qabatiya, near Jenin, are members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
