Tel Aviv [Israel], March 13 (ANI/TPS): Overnight, five terrorists were shot and stopped by Israeli security forces when they attempted to carry out a terrorist attack on a road that runs along the northern end of Jerusalem, between the Ramot and Givat Ze'ev neighborhoods.
The terrorists threw Molotov cocktails over the security fence in the area and "endangered the lives of the citizens and road users," said the Israel Police.
The police said they were prepared for such an incident after a similar attack occurred earlier.
As a result, they were organized along the road in what the police described as a covert operation with the aim of "thwarting further attempts by terrorists to endanger the safety of the citizens."
