Security camera footage showed the boys, wearing hooded
sweatshirts, entering the bank in Rishon Lezion, a suburb of Tel
Aviv on Wednesday. One had a schoolbag on his back and what
appeared to be a rifle in his hand.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said both were carrying fake
M-16 assault rifles and that they shouted "this is a holdup".
"They were toy guns but they looked real. The people in the bank
were scared, but then the suspects ran out without taking any
money," he said, adding that police were able to identify the
pair from the security footage and later arrested them.
