Two Palestinians were arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack in the central city of Netanya. Netanya Police officers, with assistance from special police and security forces, launched a manhunt after the Palestinians, who entered Israel illegally from the West Bank, after receiving intelligence indicating the two were planning an attack. The police temporarily closed off several roads until the pair was captured at a car wash in the city’s open-air market. A police sapper scanned the scene to determine there was no further danger from explosives and the suspects were taken in for questioning. A police search found a knife in the possession of one of them. (Raanan Ben Tzur)
