IDF: Security forces raided a short time ago the Dahariya area in the Judea Brigade following a report received about armed suspects impersonating IDF soldiers and robbing stores in the area.
JNS: Israeli security forces on Tuesday arrested three armed Bedouins who impersonated troops and robbed a store in Dhahiriya, a Palestinian town near Hebron in Judea, the Israel Police said in a statement.
The three Bedouins “posed as security forces and robbed a jewelry store in Dhahiriya,” police said, adding that three M-16 rifles and a handgun were seized after a “swift and precise operation” that led to their arrest.
The arrests were first reported by Ynet some 10 minutes after the Israel Defense Forces confirmed a manhunt “following a report about armed suspects impersonating IDF soldiers and robbing stores in Dhahiriya.
“The forces are currently conducting a chase after the suspects,” the military statement added. “We stress that these are not IDF soldiers.”
