The police disclosed this information on Sunday.\n\nThe first suspect, a 19-year-old resident of the Shomron area, was apprehended first. Upon a thorough examination of his vehicle, officers discovered several items of concern, such as an airsoft rifle, a knife, a penknife, and tear gas canisters. Subsequently, the police identified the second suspect, an 18-year-old from the Jordan Valley region.
