Tel Aviv, Israel – Israeli media report the detention of three suspects who allegedly helped transport terrorists to the Gush Dan area, where the 20 February bombings of passenger buses in Bat Yam and Holon took place. This was reported by sources in the Israeli General Security Service (Shabak).
Suspects detained – among them Israelis
According to Israeli media, the detainees are Israeli Jews. All three were brought in for questioning to clarify the circumstances of their involvement in the organisation of the terrorist attack. Law enforcement is currently checking whether the suspects knew about the terrorists’ plans or acted unconsciously.
Court bans disclosure of investigation details
Due to the ongoing investigation, the court imposed a ban on the publication of any details of the case. This decision was made to ensure the security of the investigation and to prevent the leakage of information that could prejudice the investigation.
