Police, border police and IDF troops arrested seven minors, residents of the el-Eida refugee camp under PA (Palestinian Authority) rule. The suspects in custody are believed to have perpetrated firebomb and pipe bomb attacks at Kever Rochel during recent months.

The suspects in custody range in age from 16 – 17.5-years-old, all residents of the refugee camp. They learned how to assemble bombs on the internet and bought the ingredients in stores in PA areas, assembled the makeshift explosives and used them at Kever Rochel on Friday afternoons. In many of the alleged attacks, they also targeted mispallalim with rocks.
