Palestinian Security Officer Among Those Arrested in Qalqilya Tunnel Case
One of the two Palestinians arrested in connection with a tunnel discovered near Qalqilya is a senior officer in the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Service, according to a report by Li Ayish. The military court extended the detention of the two Palestinian suspects for eight days, while the detention of two Israeli suspects was extended until Tuesday.
During their interrogation, the Palestinian suspects deny any connection to the tunnel. Police are attributing charges of weapons possession and preparation for a terror act to the suspects, emphasizing the tunnel's significant length, described as tens of meters long. Authorities stated, "This is not routine, it is meant to change the regional security picture."
The tunnel, which was in the process of being dug and reached a depth of at least 25 meters, was discovered last week during an operation by the Samaria Counter-Crime Unit and the Judea and Samaria Border Police in Qalqilya. Weapons were found and seized at the site, leading to the arrest of four suspects for questioning.
