Two Palestinians suspected of carrying out a deadly terror attack in Elad last week were arrested by Israeli forces in a forested area near the central city, security officials said.
A joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet security agency and Israel Police announced the arrests of As’ad Yousef As’ad al-Rifa’i, 19, and Subhi Emad Subhi Abu Shqeir, 20, who allegedly killed three people and severely wounding several others in the ultra-Orthodox city on Thursday.
Security officials did not immediately provide any further details.
Footage from the scene showed security forces shouting at the men in a forested area, then arresting them.
The two — from a town near Jenin in the West Bank — are suspected of hacking three Israelis to death with axes in Elad, a majority ultra-Orthodox city in central Israel on Thursday.
Police launched a massive manhunt for them, which ended with their arrest nearby some 60 hours after the attack.

Tensions have risen sharply between Israel and the Palestinians in recent months against the backdrop of repeated terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank that have left 19 people dead.
