Arab Caught Infiltrating into Efrat

On Friday evening, an 18 year old Arab from the village of Idhna (near Hebron) was caught infiltrating into the town of Efrat in Gush Etzion.

When he was caught by the town's security personnel, he was carrying a Hamas flag and 3 lighters on his person.

During the interrogation he said he planned to commit a terror attack. There is speculation he was sent to test out the town's security response.

On Saturday, the IDF arrested two Arabs in Hebron who threw stones at a Jewish boy, in Hebron's Jewish Quarter.
