Two local staff members at the UK consulate in Jerusalem have been arrested by Israeli authorities on suspicion of selling weapons to Hamas terrorists, officials reported on Monday.

The BBC reported that the two men, who were maintenance workers at the consulate, were arrested over their alleged links to a plan to fire a rocket at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium. The plan was disclosed by the Israel Security Agency on Sunday. It was also revealed that two Jerusalem Arabs were arrested after they carried out surveillance from a hill overlooking the stadium in order to find the best place to launch rockets at it.

BBC said that the two UK consulate workers who were arrested had allegedly obtained weapons for the other two men who were accused of planning the attack.
