Shin Bet agents working in conjunction with the IDF, the Border Guard's undercover unit, and the Jerusalem police, were able to apprehend Islamic Jihad terrorists from the northern West Bank. The suspects are believed to belong to the terror cell behind the last suicide bombing at the Stage nightclub in Tel Aviv.

Following the arrests, forces recovered bags containing explosive charges placed in cardboard boxes. The explosive material was supplemented by nails and shrapnel in order to increase the damage to victims.

During the subsequent interrogation, the terrorists confessed that they attempted to dispatch suicide bombers from the northern West Bank on two separate occasions this week.

The third attempt, to send two bombers to Jerusalem, was scheduled for Thursday.
