Security forces thwarted two terror attacks in the West Bank, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) said on Tuesday.
IDF observers identified a suspect near the border fence who was subsequently arrested by IDF troops who arrived on scene and found an M-16 in his possession.
In parallel, troops operating in the Jenin area arrested a wanted person who was planning to carry out an immediate terror attack. Following an exchange of fire, the wanted person was eliminated, the statement noted.
