Two suspects allegedly involved in planning a terror attack against Israeli civilians were arrested Monday evening near Jerusalem, in a joint operation by the Shin Bet and the Yamam, Israel Police’s national counter-terrorism unit.

Acting on precise intelligence from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the forces tracked the two to Route 1, the main Jerusalem–Tel Aviv highway, close to the Latrun Interchange, where they were taken into custody.

According to the official statement, the operation was carried out “under precise intelligence guidance of the Israel Security Agency.” No forces were hurt in the arrest.

Both suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet for further questioning. Authorities have not released their identities or details of the alleged plot.
