Two Palestinian students were arrested on their return from Saudi Arabia, where they performed Umra or minor pilgrimage, to the West Bank on Monday evening.

Local sources said that Israeli intelligence detained Mohammed Zakarne, 23, and Mohammed Nazzal, 24, at the Karame bridge linking the West Bank to Jordan.

They said that intelligence agents separated the two students, from Jenin province, from the Umra convoy members and questioned them before taking them in.

The sources said that the intelligence informed families of the two students, at the Arab American University, that both young men were in custody.

In another incident, Israeli police claimed that two Palestinians were arrested in Tel Aviv on Monday night for having a pipe bomb in their possession.

The police said that the two young men were arrested at the central bus station in Tel Aviv.
