Israeli security forces thwarted another terrorist attack, arresting two
Palestinians outside the Tekoa community in the West Bank on Tuesday,
according to a Jerusalem Post report. One of the suspects. Muhammed Abu Eisha, is the
nephew of the terrorist Amar Abu Eisha, suspected of kidnapping and killing
three Israeli youth – Eyal Yifrach, Naftali Frenkel, and Gilad Shaar – in
June.
Amar Abu Eisha was killed in a shootout with Israeli forces in September.
His nephew Muhammed went missing over the weekend, prompting a security
alert in and around Hebron and a search to find him before any attack.
Tekoa residents were able to apprehend one of the suspects near the
community's security fence while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detained
the second suspect. Both Palestinians intended to carry out terrorist
attacks on Israelis and one was carrying a knife.
This latest incident comes in context of increased Palestinian terrorist
attacks targeting Israeli civilians and soldiers. Various Palestinian
factions, including the Mahmoud Abbas-led Fatah movement, actively
encourage violence and systematically glorify terrorist attacks against
Israelis.
