[vminfla]

The IDF and security officials have caught two Bethlehem area terrorist gangs who planned to murder IDF soldiers and Jews who ride all-terrain vehicles in the area of Gush Etzion, located immediately south of Jerusalem.

They also planned to murder an Arab who cooperates with Israeli security officials.

The gangs comprised terrorists ages 18-22, and their modus operandi was to organize riots and then shoot with rifles or throw firebombs at soldiers who arrive on the scene.

The first gang was arrested after its members shot at a Border Patrol jeep two months ago. They also planted a bomb on the path where IDF vehicles patrol near the security fence. No one was injured in the attacks.
