A security source told Kan News: "The 'Sharona 2' attack may have been prevented." The three terrorists are residents of the Tulkarm area, 21 years old, with no previous security background. The terrorists were traveling in a bus that was transporting illegal residents to Israel. As part of the security forces' preparedness operation, a Border Police force stopped the bus at the Seam Line and transferred the IDF officers for questioning at the Salem outpost. While waiting near the outpost gate, the three terrorists, who were equipped with a submachine gun, knives, and ammunition, opened fire. A Border Police force stationed at the outpost immediately returned fire: two terrorists were killed and one was critically wounded. It is believed that they were planning to carry out an attack on Israeli territory. The bus they were traveling in had an Israeli license plate, and the driver was an Israeli Arab. The IDF says that the driver did not know that he was transporting terrorists. Central Command Commander, Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, said after a tour of the scene that a very large attack was averted. "This is thanks to the sharp and professional activity of Border Guard fighters, which is part of a broad operation in the seam zone in recent months, culminating in Ramadan, in which the forces of the "Menashe" regional brigade - with reinforcements - thwarted numerous infiltrations into Israeli territory.".
