Israeli security forces arrested two suspects on Wednesday afternoon after a tunnel was discovered near the A-Za'im crossing east of Jerusalem, a major security checkpoint connecting the capital with Judea and Samaria and the city of Ma'ale Adumim. The operation follows a similar uncovering earlier in the day: at 12:14 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported that police had uncovered a 25-meter-deep tunnel in the same area and arrested two suspects — a Palestinian from al-Eizariya and a Jerusalem resident. The current arrests suggest the investigation is ongoing, with further detentions made as security forces continue to probe the underground structure. No official details on the suspects' identities or alleged offenses have yet been released by police or the military.
