Israeli security forces say they have arrested four suspects who were planning a shooting attack targeting IDF soldiers in the city of Carmiel, in an operation by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police.

According to authorities, the four suspects are Arab Israeli residents of northern Israel, including two minors. During questioning and investigation, security officials allege the group was actively preparing a shooting attack against IDF soldiers in Carmiel. Some of the suspects received training and guidance on how to carry out the planned attack, the security services said.

The arrests were made in a coordinated operation by the Shin Bet and the Northern District Police, who said the plot was disrupted before any weapon was used, and no injuries have been reported. The suspects are expected to be indicted in Haifa District Court following the filing of charges.
