Newly published documentation shows the moment Israeli security forces arrested two terrorists moments before they were to carry out a shooting attack in Jerusalem, according to security sources. The arrest took place in the Shuafat neighborhood. The documentation follows the Border Police's earlier release of helmet-cam footage of the operation, as reported by The Zioneer.
New documentation, showing the moment of the arrest of two terrorists moments before a planned shooting attack in Jerusalem, has been published, security sources said Wednesday. The footage, released after the Border Police had already published helmet-cam footage of the operation Tuesday evening, provides a closer look at the undercover arrest in the Shuafat neighborhood.
The Zioneer tracked the story through four updates on Tuesday evening, all published at 20:49 Jerusalem. The first report, from Channel 14, said the Border Police's undercover unit had arrested two terrorists overnight in the Shuafat refugee camp, with exclusive footage. A second update identified the suspects as residents of the camp. A third confirmed that the Border Police (Magav) was the arresting unit. The fourth reported that the Border Police had released official helmet-camera footage showing the raid on two houses. The new documentation, now published, shows the moment of the arrest itself.
The operation is part of broader Israeli security efforts to prevent attacks in the Jerusalem area. As The Zioneer reported on July 1, a multi-day operation by Border Police and IDF concluded with the arrest of a Hamas cell planning an attack near Jerusalem in the Shuafat refugee camp and the village of Aqab. On July 16, The Zioneer reported that the Border Police released video of an undercover arrest of a wanted terror suspect in al-Eizariya.
It remains unclear whether the two suspects have been formally charged, and the specific target of the planned shooting attack has not been disclosed. The investigation continues.
