Israeli Police Chase and Arrest Palestinian Driver Speeding at 162 km/h Near Almog Junction

During a focused enforcement operation by Israeli traffic police and border unit fighters in the Gilad area, an 18-year-old Palestinian from Ramallah was caught driving at 162 km/h without a license. The driver ignored police signals to stop, leading to a high-speed chase and a rapid roadblock at Almog Junction, where the vehicle was stopped. Police found the car had fake license plates and discovered two knives, one on the suspect and one inside the vehicle. The young man was arrested and taken for investigation at the Maale Adumim station.

In the same operation, other drivers were also caught speeding dangerously on this strategic route. A 20-year-old East Jerusalem resident was recorded driving at 154 km/h without ever having obtained a license. Shortly after, an 18-year-old Israeli citizen was measured driving at 192 km/h. Both were detained and summoned for further legal proceedings, including hearings and trials.

Additionally, a 58-year-old Palestinian was arrested for driving a truck despite having his license revoked by court order. He was transferred to traffic investigators and subsequently imprisoned. This enforcement campaign highlights ongoing efforts to curb dangerous driving and unlicensed motorists in the region.
