A vehicle carrying suspected Arab infiltrators attempted to breach the Hizma checkpoint north of Jerusalem on Tuesday evening, the third reported checkpoint-related security incident in the area in recent hours. According to a source affiliated with right-wing activists, Israeli security forces deployed spikes at the checkpoint and stopped the vehicle; the driver and passengers were detained.
The incident follows two earlier checkpoint events reported by The Zioneer: a suspected car-ramming at the Meitar checkpoint in Samaria (21:29) and a stolen-vehicle chase in which a driver rammed a security guard at a West Bank checkpoint before fleeing (21:39). Both remain active with suspects at large or investigation ongoing.
The source also reported multiple stone-throwing attacks against Israeli vehicles in the past hour across the Binyamin and Samaria regions. No casualties have been reported from either the checkpoint incident or the stone-throwing, according to available details. The broader security situation in Judea and Samaria remains tense, with a notable uptick in vehicular and stone-throwing incidents Tuesday evening.
