Suspect who fired on IDF vehicle in November 2023 detained in Tulkarem, in the West Bank
2025-03-29
[IsraelTimes] Israeli forces arrested overnight a Palestinian in Tulkarem who opened fire on an IDF vehicle in November 2023 and then fled the scene, the Israel Police say in a joint statement with the IDF and Shin Bet

According to the statement, the 35-year-old suspect fired on the vehicle over a year ago “with the intention of harming soldiers and police officers and to commit suicide immediately afterwards,” but instead fled the scene after injuring a soldier.

The suspect has spent the last year hiding from Israeli troops, the joint statement says, but was located in Tulkarem and detained, whereupon he confessed to carrying out the attack.

Following the investigation, an indictment has been filed against the suspect for possessing and carrying a weapon and intent to murder, police add.
