They are accused of attempting to enlist two women soldiers into their network, promising them money and drugs.

Officials note that this "severe case once again shows the easy access that Jerusalem Arabs have to the Israeli population, by virtue of the freedom of travel that they are granted and the fact that they work in Israel."
Another woman from the northern Israeli-Arab village of Be'eina was arrested last night in connection with helping the suicide terrorist who murdered nine people in last month's Meiron junction bus attack. Like the seven others who have already been arrested in connection with this case, she is a member of the Bakri family. Two of them were released to house arrest this afternoon. A group of demonstrators blocked the Meiron junction last night for a short time in protest of the continuing terrorism.
