Security officials on Wednesday, 19 Cheshvan, announced members of a terror cell operating in the Beit Lechem area are in custody. The cell’s members range in ages from 18-22.

The cell is believed responsible for a shooting attack against border policemen a number of months ago, firebomb and shooting attacks against security vehicles, and members also conspired to murder Jews driving in the area on ATV vehicles, apparently a not too uncommon phenomenon in that area.
