IDF and Shin Bet Foil Major Terror Attack Minutes Before Execution

The joint operation was launched following precise intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, which allowed security forces to pinpoint the location, block escape routes, and detain the suspect without resistance. No injuries were reported during the arrest. According to Cursorinfo, the suspect was stopped just minutes before he could execute a large-scale attack targeting civilian and military transport on a major regional highway.

The suspect has been transferred to security forces for further investigation. Shin Bet investigators are examining the details of the planned attack, whether the suspect possessed weapons, and if he had accomplices or ties to terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria.

Following the foiled plot and a recent deadly shooting attack in Hebron, security forces have increased patrols and checkpoints in the Benjamin Brigade area. The region serves as a critical transport hub connecting Jerusalem, Jewish communities in Samaria, and Palestinian villages.
