Two Americans currently studying in Jerusalem were arrested on Wednesday afternoon after they were caught at a sensitive security site at the entrance to the city, Ynet reported.
A security guard spotted the two young men arriving at the facility and crossing its fence. He detained them at the scene until police forces arrived.
The police examined the suspects’ phones, which revealed that they had taken videos of the site.
The police are expected to request an extension of their detention.
The Shin Bet is involved in the investigation.

Somehow “Yeshiva World” published this story after the 2 Bocherim have B’h already been released and they are back in Yeshiva.
how much were they paid to take the pictures?
what could possibly entice these lomdei torah, who defend our people night and day, to spy for our enemies?
Just so everyone’s on the same page: is this article referring to the unmarked but super obvious concrete security perimeter across from Cinema City?
These were 2 heimish chasidish buchrim from Boro Park, no way they had any intention of espionage, they were taking pictures with a kosher flip phone…… and I promise you the police didn’t even think so. It was just an anti chareidi situation. They were treated under arrest worse than all the Arab terrorists, I know firsthand about it.
Burech hashem the judge didn’t buy the libel and let them go!
