Israeli Police Foil 'Price Tag' Attack in Samaria, Arrest Three Suspects

Israeli police prevented a planned 'price tag' attack in the Samaria region, intended as retaliation for a fire at the Gilad Farm. During a nighttime operation near Kedumim, Border Police officers became suspicious of a vehicle at a gas station that was seen filling multiple fuel containers. The three suspects, aged 18 to 20 and local residents, claimed the fuel was for agricultural equipment. However, a search of their vehicle uncovered weapons, masks, a knife, and two license plates from a previously deregistered vehicle, which they could not explain.

The suspects were arrested and taken to Ariel police station for questioning. Following the investigation, they were remanded in custody and are scheduled to appear in court today. The police emphasized their commitment to combating violence, stating, "The Israel Police, together with security forces, condemns violence in all forms. We will continue to arrest these violent extremists, investigate them, and ensure they face justice."
