Four men, including a police volunteer, were arrested this evening (Thursday) in northern Judea and Samaria on suspicion of plotting an attack.

Another suspect fled to Umm al-Fahm, and security forces are searching for him.

During the arrest, a bag with two pistols was seized from the suspects.

One of the suspects is apparently a volunteer with the Civil Guard, and now a suspicion is also being investigated that this is an attempt to trade in arms.

It will be recalled that the attack in Hadera, in which two people were killed, was carried out by two relatives from Umm al-Fahm.

Earlier this week, the funeral of the two terrorists took place in the city, after the police reached an agreement with the family members regarding the conditions of the release of the bodies that had hitherto been held by the security forces.

The police agreed to return the bodies only if the following conditions were met: no more than 50 participants would attend each funeral, no flags or inciting signs would be raised or those expressing sympathy with the perpetrators or terrorist organizations, and no parades would take place.

On March 27, the terrorists murdered two border fighters, Shirel Aboukaret and Wizen Fallah. The local police opened fire with their personal weapons at members of the security forces. In the same shooting, the terrorists killed the pair of

fighters

and wounded five other people.
