Security officials arrested two suspects in last Tuesday's bombing at Hizme north of Jerusalem, it was cleared for publication Sunday.
"Significant" developments have allegedly been uncovered during interrogation, but details about the two remain under media gag order.
Last Tuesday’s attack occurred when an IDF officer spotted suspicious objects during a patrol on the road leading to the village of Hizme, and one of them exploded. A subsequent investigation revealed that the suspicious objects were pipe bombs that were placed by terrorists on the road.
The attack was the second terrorist attack in one day, coming hours after two elderly women were stabbed by Arab terrorists in Jerusalem.
The officer wounded in the attack is currently conscious and interacting with family, after his condition improved significantly over the past several days. He is currently being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem and is listed in moderate condition.
