Authorities have announced that a joint operation between the IDF and police led to the arrest of several terrorists who acted around Highway 443.
The more than 16 suspects are all from the village of Kharbatha al-Misbah, which is located near the highway. They were arrested over the past several months, but a gag order forbade publication.
They were known for throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks at Israeli vehicles passing by. Several cars and buses were damaged in the attacks.
