Police apprehended a suspect late Friday who had fled from an olive grove in the village of Kafr Qara, with an M16 rifle discovered hidden in the ground nearby. The suspect, known to police and a resident of Muawiya in Wadi Ara, is believed by authorities to have acted for criminal reasons, with a nationalistic motive ruled out. The search began earlier Friday after a report of a suspicious, armed individual in the olive grove. Numerous officers, supported by aerial units and guided by the Shin Bet, conducted an extensive operation to locate and arrest the suspect. Police had issued an unusual announcement earlier in the day, around 10:30 AM, detailing the ongoing search for a potentially armed suspect. The initial report described the individual as wearing IDF (Israel Defense Forces) uniform with a veil. Authorities urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious individuals, while following official police statements.
