| [IsraelTimes] Security forces seize a bag of knives, stun grenades and Molotov cocktails from six Paleostinians in a vehicle heading to the capital. Border police said they foiled a terror attack Tuesday after finding a bag of knives, stun grenades and Molotov cocktail materials during the search of a Paleostinian vehicle at a checkpoint near East Jerusalem. The car was heading into the Jerusalem side of the Mizmoriya checkpoint, outside Bethlehem, when it was stopped after security forces noticed that its front and back license plates did not match. The officers ordered the six riders, who also lacked entry permits, to exit the vehicle for it to be examined. According to the police spokesperson, the suspects admitted during initial questioning to planning to carry out a terror attack in Jerusalem.

Minister promises amnesty in drive to collect illegal firearms in Arab towns [IsraelTimes] Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan tells mayors of Arab councils in the Galilee that a new drive to remove illegal firearms from the streets of Arab towns will include the granting of amnesty to anyone giving up their guns. At a meeting in the Galilee with Arab mayors, Erdan says that despite tensions between Arabs and Jews, rates of interethnic crimes -- where Jews attack Arabs or vice versa -- are actually quite low. Just five to six percent of murders nationwide involve a member of one ethnicity killing a member of the other, he says. |
