Under the direction of the Shin Bet (ISA), elite Yamas Border Police officers from the Jerusalem District, together with IDF forces, operated in recent weeks to locate and apprehend the terrorists, who were advancing terror activity and suspected of planning an attack.
Last week, soldiers from the Lions of the Jordan Valley Battalion arrested three members of the cell in Jericho. In a follow-up operation this week, elite Yamas Border Police officers arrested an additional suspect in the city.
All suspects were transferred to the ISA for further investigation.
Security forces will continue proactive counterterrorism operations to protect the public.
