Armed Assailant Sets Fire to Vehicle at West Bank Farm, Neutralized After Chase

An assailant armed with a knife arrived at a farm in the Benjamin region, near the settlement of Adam, and set a vehicle on fire. The attacker fled the scene but was neutralized by security forces shortly thereafter. According to the Benjamin Regional Council spokesperson, the incident occurred in the grazing lands of Hanina Farm, near the American Academy in Ramot. Initial reports suggest the assailant arrived equipped with gloves and other gear, indicating preparation for an attack. The assailant was apprehended and neutralized, with IDF forces present at the scene.

Earlier the same day, IDF forces responded to a report of a attempted ramming attack near Hebron, in the Bnei Na'im area, which resulted in no casualties. Magen David Adom reported the incident occurred near Ma'aleh Hever Farm, where several neutralized assailants were present. An IDF spokesperson later stated that forces identified a suspicious vehicle carrying three suspects. The vehicle accelerated towards an IDF vehicle, colliding with it. No Israeli forces were injured. In response, the forces opened fire on the suspicious vehicle, and hits were identified. The IDF launched searches and blocked nearby roads and villages.
