A Palestinian man in his 30s from the village of Ramon has been charged with attempted murder and planning military activity. According to police and the Shin Bet security agency, on October 5, 2026, the suspect drove to grazing lands near the settlement of Hininat Farm, close to Ma'aleh Levona in the Benjamin region. He then set a vehicle ablaze and intended to stab residents. Residents of the farm, who were near a central tent, heard a noise and saw the suspect near the burning vehicle. They reported that he ran towards them brandishing a knife before retreating and attempting to flee. One resident pursued and neutralized the suspect by hitting him with his vehicle. The suspect sustained minor injuries and was taken for medical treatment. Police and Shin Bet investigators collected evidence at the scene, including a gas lighter and a 10-centimeter knife. The investigation was transferred to the Shin Bet, and the suspect's detention has been extended by the court. During questioning, the suspect stated, "I set fire to a vehicle near a tent of Jewish settlers and at the same time planned to stab a settler." Following the investigation, a statement of charges was filed, paving the way for an indictment and a request for his continued detention until the legal proceedings conclude.
