IDF troops on Wednesday evening operating in the Samaria area captured an Arab terror cell armed with firebombs, apparently on its way to carry out an attack.
The four terrorists were caught with two firebombs and an improvised explosive device and are suspected to have been on their way to an attack.
The four suspects were transferred to the Shin Bet security service for further investigation.
The IDF stated that it “will continue to operate to maintain security in the area and to thwart terrorist attacks.”
On Tuesday, terrorists fired at an IDF post situated near the city of Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria, causing no injuries or damage.
The IDF stated Wednesday morning that it received a report of an attempted shooting attack from a passing vehicle on a military post.
Troops scanning the scene of the attack found a bullet, giving credence to the report.
