Wanted Palestinian terrorist found hiding in car trunk at Jerusalem checkpoint
Security checkpoints are "the line between a regular Tuesday and a tragedy," an Israel Police spokesman said.
On Wednesday, Israeli Police arrested a wanted Palestinian terror suspect from Tulkarem at a Jerusalem checkpoint. The suspect was found hiding in a car trunk, attempting to illegally enter Israel's pre-1967 borders from Samaria. Lt. Dean Elsdunne, Israel Police's international spokesman, stated, "A wanted terror suspect from Tulkarem, who was believed to be planning a terror attack against our civilians, hid in the trunk of a car... and attempted to illegally sneak into our cities." He emphasized that checkpoints are "the line between a regular Tuesday and a tragedy." Separately, undercover Border Police, acting on Shin Bet intelligence, arrested another terror suspect in al-Eizariya. These incidents occur amidst a significant rise in terror attacks in Judea and Samaria, with Rescuers Without Borders reporting 5,051 attacks in 2025, resulting in 24 Israeli deaths and over 400 injuries.
