Security Forces Detain Suspects on Highway 1 Over Alleged Imminent Attack

Israeli security forces detained suspects on Highway 1 on suspicion of planning to carry out an imminent terror attack, Kan 11 and The Jerusalem Post reported. While Kan 11 reported three arrests, The Jerusalem Post and news outlet JDN stated that two unarmed suspects were detained near the Latrun Interchange and transferred to the Shin Bet for questioning.

According to reports by JDN and Behadrey Haredim, the arrests followed intelligence concerning a cell from the Anata area and involved the deployment of a "Tequila" quick-response unit comprising the Yamam counter-terrorism unit and the Shin Bet, prompting heightened security across Jerusalem. Police clarified that no unusual incidents occurred near Teddy Stadium. Further details have not yet been released.
