Israeli forces detain prominent terror suspect in West Bank, foil imminent attack plan
[IsraelTimes] Israeli security forces detained a prominent terror operative and foiled an imminent attack in separate West Bank operations over the weekend, the military, Shin Bet, and police say.
This morning, undercover Border Police officers raided the town of Wadi Burqin, next to Jenin, to detain Muslim Masarwa, who is identified by the Shin Bet as a prominent member of a terror network in the West Bank city.
Another two wanted Palestinians were detained with him, and a handgun was seized, the joint statement says.
In an operation yesterday in the northern West Bank area, forces of the police’s Yamam unit detained a “terrorist who was planning to carry out an imminent attack,” according to the statement.
The wanted man was shot while trying to flee, and he was nabbed alongside four others, the IDF adds.
