Five people were arrested tonight (Thursday) in Be'er Ya'akov on suspicion of attempting to carry out an assassination.
They were arrested in a parking lot in the city in possession of two loaded guns, stocking caps, a tracking device and other assault weapons.
The officers fired in the air and then arrested the suspects for questioning.
The incident began when the police received a report of suspect movement in an underground parking lot in Be'er Ya'akov.
The policemen arrived at the scene and noticed five, with one of them holding a gun and therefore carried out an arrest accompanied by shooting in the air until all the suspects were fully under control and they were laid on the ground for their arrest.
A search of the vehicle revealed another loaded gun, stocking caps and assault weapons, including a sea rifle, a knife and an ax and a surveillance device.

The police intend to bring them before the court today with a request to extend their detention, according to the needs of the investigation and its findings.
