Israeli police announced on Sunday that they had thwarted 12 attempts to steal or transport vehicles into the West Bank region over the past week. The operations, concentrated in the Samaria area, resulted in the arrest of 10 suspects for investigation. Police stated that some of these theft attempts were disguised as vehicle towing services. In two separate incidents at the Rantis checkpoint, police stopped two tow trucks.
