Israeli troops thwarted a planned terrorist attack when they captured four terrorists in western Samaria overnight Wednesday, the military said.
The terrorists were apprehended in the Jayyus area near Qalqilya, with the Israel Defense Forces saying that they “operated to advance terrorist activities in the area and planned to execute a terror attack.”
Three other terrorists were arrested near Kifl Haris and Deir Istiya after they threw rocks at vehicles on a main road.
The detainees were transferred to the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) for questioning, the army said.
“The security forces continue operating to thwart terrorism in the area and against anyone who harms or attempts to harm Israeli civilians and the security forces,” the IDF added.
