A Paleostinian man from the West Bank was arrested in the central district city of Ra’anana, after an extended manhunt, on suspicion that he was planning a terror attack, Israel Police said Wednesday.
Police spent several hours searching for the man, a resident of the Paleostinian city of Tulkarem.
Officers eventually tracked him down at a building site in Ra’anana.
Police released a video showing officers detaining and cuffing the man at gunpoint.
He was taken in for questioning, police said.
Last month, police arrested a man suspected of carrying out a car-ramming attack in central Israel a week earlier that maimed eight IDF soldiers.
Police said the suspect in that incident, named earlier as Arkan Khaled, a 27-year-old Israeli resident of Taybeh, was caught while hiding at a construction site in the town of Kfar Yona.
The attack happened at the Beit Lid Junction in central Israel, near Kfar Yona.
Since October 7, 2023, 53 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
