The Shin Bet security agency announced the arrest of three Arabs suspected of planning an imminent terror attack yesterday. One suspect was apprehended on Route 6 in central Israel during a traffic stop involving a vehicle carrying 12 other Arabs (as posted yesterday).

Following the initial arrest, IDF troops detained two additional suspects later in the day at their homes, after interrogating the first individual. According to the Shin Bet, all three detainees are from the town of Bani Naim, near Hebron.

Weapons intended for use in the attack were reportedly discovered at the homes of the two suspects. The trio is now under questioning by the Shin Bet.
