Two Palestinian gunmen who were en route to carrying out an imminent shooting attack were detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Nablus last night, defense authorities say.

Members of police's Yamam counterterrorism unit and the Shin Bet security agency stopped the gunmen while they were driving to carry out the attack.

Police, IDF, and Shin Bet in a joint statement say that the gunmen were detained with two loaded M16 assault rifles, vests, face masks, and ammunition.

The pair are identified by the Shin Bet as Ahmed Zakarna, 21, and Tariq Abu Ziyad, 25, residents of Qabatiya and members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group.

In their initial interrogation by the Shin Bet, the pair said they set out from Jenin and were en route to carry out a shooting, the statement says.
