[IsraelTimes] Two Paleostinian teens suspected of carrying out shooting attacks at passing cars in the central West Bank were incarceratedDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! last month, the Shin Bet security service said Sunday. The two suspects, both 17 and from the Paleostinian village of Deir Abu Mash’al west of Ramallah, were arrested hours after allegedly shooting at Israeli cars on January 27, according to the security agency. The arrests were carried out together with the Israel Defense Forces and police and were gagged until the Sunday announcement. The Shin Bet did not say when the two were expected to be officially charged. A spokesperson said the results of the investigations had been handed over to the military prosecution. The pair were accused of shooting at cars near the West Bank settlement of Halamish, outside Ramallah, on November 14, and January 27, as well as unspecified "additional attacks." There were no injuries in any of those attacks. The Shin Bet said that during the investigation, security forces uncovered two makeshift "Carlo" submachine guns that agents then matched to casings taken from the scenes of the shooting. "This investigation reveals, once again, the involvement of minors in severe terror activity, as well as the tangible security threat posed by terrorists’ access to makeshift weapons that can cause massive damage," the statement said. |
