The Palestinian Authority suspects that ISIS will try to carry out attack in Bethlehem between Christmas and New Year, Kol Yisrael reports.

According to the report, reinforced PA security forces have spread around the city due to warnings about extreme Salafists planning on causing disruptions. Sixteens extremist Muslims were placed on administrative detention in recent days.

The warnings are believed to be about shooting or bomb attacks against foreign tourists, Palestinian Christians, or churches and other Christian sites.
