Jerusalem, 8 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli police’s elite undercover counterterrorism unit, “Gideonim” Unit 33, and the Shin Bet (Israel’s anti-terror General Security Service) reported that carried out a joint raid in the Shuafat camp in northern Jerusalem, arresting a 22-year-old man identified by authorities as a prominent arms dealer and terrorist operative.
Security officials said the arrest thwarted an imminent attack planned against security forces and civilians, though they did not provide further details on the alleged plot.
Officials described the operation as the opening phase of a broader, larger security campaign planned for the area.
