Police say they arrested man who planned ramming-stabbing in East Jerusalem
2026-02-12
[IsraelTimes] Police recently nabbed a 50-year-old man who planned to carry out a ramming-stabbing attack at Hizma checkpoint in East Jerusalem, law enforcement announces.

While the suspect was on his way to the checkpoint earlier this month, he crashed his car into a pole on the side of the highway. Cops dispatched to the scene of the accident searched his vehicle and found several knives and army fatigues affiliated with a terror group, police say.

The suspect, a Palestinian from Qalandiya in the West Bank, allegedly was driving a car with a forged Israeli license plate.

He was interrogated on suspicion of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, and vehicle forgery, and he will be indicted in the near future, police say.

A day later, police detectives raided the suspect’s home and arrested his 21-year-old son, who was found to be in possession of a Hamas flag and headbands bearing the terror group’s insignia.

The son also remains in police custody, though police have not announced plans to file charges against him.
