Alert policemen saw a suspicious vehicle on Monday morning 25 Adar-II heading from Latrun towards Jerusalem. Police instructed the driver to pull over and found seven PA (Palestinian Authority) residents in the vehicle, some carrying forged Israeli identity cards. An inspection of the vehicle revealed the knife seen in the photo, in the possession of a 17-year-old.

Police summoned back up units and the suspects and the Israeli driver were taken into custody, to the Harel station.

On their way to the station they saw another suspicious car carrying two PA residents, also with forged identity cards. In total nine PA residents from the Hebron area were taken into custody including three minors and two Israeli Arab drivers.
