| [IsraelTimes] Nablus resident Amad Asleem is one of several suspects arrested in the West Bank overnight as part of ongoing anti-terror campaign. Israeli forces on Friday announced the arrest of a Paleostinian suspected of attempting to carry out a pair of attacks in the West Bank, including placing an bomb at a gas station. According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency, Nablus resident Amad Asleem was detained in a joint operation overnight. He was later handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning. The statement said Asleem, a resident of Nablus, was involved in shooting at an Israeli vehicle near Hawara on September 19. No one was injured in the incident, with the suspect’s gun apparently jamming after he aimed it at the car. He then fled when the driver got out of the car and had gun sex. The military and Shin Bet said Asleem was also suspected of leaving an explosive at a gas station near the entrance to the Kedumim settlement on September 25. The explosive did not detonate and IDF sappers were called in to deal with the device. In security camera footage of the incident, a suspect can be seen opening a car door and leaving a bag at the gas station, before the vehicle speeds off. Asleem was one of five terror suspects arrested in overnight raids throughout the West Bank. The IDF did not identify the other detainees but said it recovered knives, weapons parts and ammunition during the arrests, in which no Israeli troops were hurt.
