Three people, including one Border Police officer, were arrested on Monday on suspicion of having attempted murder one month before, police announced on Tuesday.
The investigation revealed that the officer, a man in his 20s, and two of his family members, who are both officers in the IDF, had an ambush planned out in order to carry out the murder on May 2 in southern Israel, where they live.
Police noted that the Border Police officer had been absent from his post for about a year.
All three suspects are Israeli security officials
The other two suspects include a man in his 40s who holds the rank of colonel in the IDF reserves, and a man in his 20s currently serving voluntarily in the IDF following his mandatory service.
The three were brought in for questioning on Monday, and the police officer's detention was extended by nine days. Investigators extended the detention of the other two suspects for three days.
The investigation is still ongoing, police said.
