Only a short drive from Jerusalem, a dramatic daytime arrest unfolded and was captured on video. Officers of Gideonim Unit 33 from Lahav 433, supported by the IDF\u2019s Binyamin Brigade and guided by Shin Bet intelligence, moved into central Ramallah and detained two terror suspects. One carried a pistol but was overpowered before he could use it. The arrest shows how Jerusalem\u2019s security depends on what happens in its so-called backyard<\/p>\n
At the heart of Ramallah, in a dense and volatile urban area, security forces acted quickly and decisively. Gideonim officers, backed by IDF troops and Shin Bet operatives, closed in on the suspects without firing a shot. During the past week, intelligence had pointed to the men\u2019s intention to launch an attack. The arrest in Ramallah was not an isolated incident but part of a wider campaign to thwart terror. On this background, each preventive action in the West Bank is directly tied to protecting Jerusalem\u2019s security<\/p>\n
