Woman Arrested for False Terror Threat Amid Divorce Dispute

A resident of Baqa al-Gharbiyye was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of filing a false report after claiming her husband threatened her and intended to carry out a terror attack. The report prompted a large-scale deployment of police operational and technological units. However, the investigation revealed the claim stemmed from a domestic dispute related to divorce proceedings.

According to a police statement, the Baqa al-Gharbiyye station launched an accelerated investigation following the serious report. Due to immediate public safety concerns, extensive operational and technological forces were mobilized, leading to the husband's swift location and arrest. As the investigation progressed, it became clear that the couple was involved in a family conflict concerning their divorce.

All checks conducted ruled out any security intentions on the husband's part and strongly indicated that the woman's severe report was entirely false. Given the gravity of the actions, the false mobilization of security forces, and the significant operational resources expended, the police arrested the woman for questioning. Following her interrogation, she was detained, and police intend to request an extension of her remand from the court.

The husband was also arrested for questioning on suspicion of making threats. The police emphasized their continued commitment to acting decisively against individuals who make false reports that mobilize security forces and waste public resources. The report noted that Baqa al-Gharbiyye has been a target of additional police operations in the past as part of the fight against crime families and general crime in the area. Additionally, a resident of Baqa al-Gharbiyye was recently arrested on suspicion of contacting Iranian intelligence.
