Israeli security forces foiled two terror plots in the Menashe Brigade sector of the West Bank, the military said Tuesday.
According to a joint statement by the IDF, Shin Bet and Israel Police, undercover Border Police officers, acting on Shin Bet intelligence, operated in Jenin to arrest a wanted suspect planning an imminent attack. The suspect was killed in an exchange of fire with no Israeli casualties.
In a separate incident, soldiers from the 7014th Reserve Battalion arrested a man armed with an M-16 rifle and a pistol near the Reihan settlement after Unit 636 spotters identified him approaching the security fence. The suspect has been taken in for questioning.
