The arrests were carried out on Tuesday afternoon in the town of Tel Mond following intelligence provided by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), according to a police statement.
Police officers and Israel Border Police units surrounded the compound where the suspects were staying, it said. During the operation, one of the suspects fled on foot, and officers launched a manhunt.
The suspect was arrested shortly afterward, and a second Palestinian was located in the area after he tried to escape by jumping from a rooftop. He was injured and taken into custody after receiving medical treatment at the scene.
During searches in the area, officers located a vehicle with a “vest” inside, according to police.
Both suspects were “transferred for further investigation,” the statement concluded.
