Israel Police and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officers thwarted a planned car-ramming and shooting attack by two Israeli-Arab citizens from Zemer and Kalansuwa, the two agencies announced on Thursday morning.
The investigation found that the men planned multiple attacks, among which were a car ramming, a shooting at a military facility, and a shooting attack targeting IDF troops or civilians.
The two citizens, aged 18-21, both expressed support for Hamas following the October 7 massacre.
Covert investigation
One of the suspects collected materials to manufacture Molotov cocktails and carried out experiments to produce explosives intended to detonate on a bus transporting IDF troops, the two organizations added.
The revelation came as a result of a covert investigation by the Crime Fighting Unit (Yalap) in the HaSharon Subdistrict and the Shin Bet.
The police and Shin Bet said that the detention of the two suspects has been prolonged.
