Police in Kafr Kanna arrested a 61-year-old resident of Al-Mashhad for driving a vehicle without a valid license since 2017. The driver was apprehended on November 8, 2026, during a police operation. Officers at a checkpoint noticed a Mercedes stop abruptly and its driver exit. The police then set up an ambush, observing the driver return to the car after a friend he had sent to scout the road failed to spot the police.
During questioning, the driver admitted to operating without a license since 2017 and acknowledged a court order prohibiting him from driving. This was reportedly the third time he had been caught driving while suspended. The police impounded the Mercedes for 30 days.
Following the investigation, the Traffic Claims Unit in the Northern District filed an indictment against the driver and requested his detention until the conclusion of proceedings at the Traffic Court in Nova Galil, Nazareth.
