The investigation revealed that the cell members had a clear division of roles: fundraising, UAV procurement, and explosives preparation. They monitored Ben-Gvir's social media to anticipate his visit to the holy site during the Jewish holiday period. The cell acquired two UAVs and equipped them with explosives, but the explosives failed during a test run. This failure, combined with the arrest of one member, led them to consider a shooting attack instead. The Shin Bet's successful apprehension of the cell demonstrates the effectiveness of Israel's counter-terrorism efforts.
