Suspects were responsible for shooting, bombing attacks against security forces, Shin Bet says.
The Shin Bet captured two Palestinian terror cells that were responsible for a number of attacks against Israeli security forces in the West Bank, it announced Wednesday.
One of the cells was arrested in early September and consisted of a number of members, ranging in ages from 18 to 22. The cell members opened fire in late August on a Border Police jeep in the village of Shura near Bethlehem.

The cell members had initiated civil disturbances to draw security forces and then open fire at them with various weapons they had assembled. No one was injured in any of the attacks.
The Shin Bet said that the arrest of the cell members thwarted their plans to attack a Jewish settler who frequently drove villagers from Shura throughout the West Bank.
The second cell operated out of the village of Zuta near Nablus and was behind a bomb attack against an IDF patrol near the village.
One of the cells members, Ahmed Musa, had served a two-year stint in Israeli jail for membership in Hamas. Musa made bombs and, together with other members of the cell, planned to use them to attack IDF patrols in the Nablus area.
