The teens, residents of Beit Anan, a village north of Jerusalem, were believed to have thrown Molotov cocktails on highways 443 and 436 near the Givat Ze’ev settlement at least seven times over the past few months, the Shin Bet said.

"The Shin Bet sees these acts of terror as very serious and life-threatening. Along with our partners, the IDF and Israel Police, we will work vigorously to uncover these terror cells and punish those involved," the security service said in a statement. The IDF released a video showing one Molotov cocktailing attack near Kharbatha al-Misbah, southeast of Modiin, as well as the arrest of two of the teenagers. |
