Israeli authorities have detained a man suspected of providing false information about an impending terror attack near Jerusalem. The incident, which occurred on the evening of October 19, led to the initial apprehension of two men on Route 1 near the Latrun junction. Law enforcement had received intelligence regarding a potential terrorist act, prompting the stop. However, a subsequent search of the detained men's vehicle revealed no weapons, raising suspicions that the threat information was fabricated.
Following this, the individual who initially reported the supposed attack was arrested. During interrogation, he reportedly confessed to fabricating the information. Despite this admission, the investigation is ongoing. The Shin Bet security agency is continuing to question both the informant and the two men stopped on the highway to ascertain if the incident was indeed unrelated to any terror plot.
Reports from several media outlets also indicate the arrest of a third individual, who is believed to be connected to a potential conspiracy. This arrest is said to have resulted from information gathered during the interrogations of the previously detained men.
