This bulletin reports a late-breaking development in the Geha Interchange incident from Friday evening. A 22-year-old female driver from Qalansawe turned herself in to police at 20:26 Jerusalem, according to media reports. She told investigators she ran over a person and claimed protesters at the scene had been throwing stones at her car, causing her to react in panic. The pedestrian, a man in his 60s, was moderately injured and evacuated to hospital. The arrest follows earlier Zioneer coverage: at 19:08 Jerusalem we reported footage from journalist Eli Hirschman showing a vehicle accelerating toward protesters and fleeing after striking someone; at 19:18 Jerusalem we reported the driver's surrender and her stone-throwing claim, based on N12. The driver's account has not been independently confirmed, and police investigation is ongoing. No additional background context from the archive pertains directly to this thread; the event appears to be an isolated road-safety and public-order incident.
