Israel Police thwarted a terror attack on Wednesday after arresting two illegal Palestinian infiltrators armed with a knife in the central Israeli city of Netanya.

The police, acting on intelligence information, closed traffic lanes until they found the two Arabs at a car wash near the Netanya shuk.

The two Arabs, both residents of the Shomron, entered Israel illegally and are suspected of intending to carry out an imminent terror attack.

A search of the suspects revealed a knife in their possession. The two were transferred to the Shin Bet for questioning.
