Israel Police: The Judea and Samaria District (YAMAS) and the General Security Service (Shin Bet) uncovered a terrorist cell from Nablus: The suspicion is possession of a weapons arsenal, planning a series of attacks,

The two were equipped with a large number of weapons including M-16, M-4, Kalashnikov, pistols, a hunting rifle, and ammunition. In addition, they acted to recruit and train additional terrorist operatives, conducting shooting drills and discussing various attack plans against Israeli civilians and security forces. During their investigation, it was revealed that in 2024, they conceived the idea to carry out an attack against the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir. According to the indictment, after the two watched a video showing the minister arriving at an attack scene, one of the terrorists suggested carrying out a “pull” attack, waiting for the minister to arrive at the scene, and then assassinating him. Subsequently, he suggested using an explosive drone for the assassination and even attempted to procure drone parts from China for this operation. It was also revealed that the two were involved in promoting murderous attack plans using explosive vehicles and drones against Israeli civilians and security forces, alongside planning shooting attacks and abducting IDF soldiers. With the consolidation of the evidentiary infrastructure by the Counter-Terrorism Unit at the Judea and Samaria District and the Shin Bet, indictments were filed against them by the Samaria Military Prosecutor’s Office. This is in addition to their arrest until the completion of legal proceedings.
