Contradicting police, Shin Bet says suspected stabber had work permit for Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Shin Bet security service denies a police claim that the suspect in the Petah Tikva stabbing was in Israel illegally.
“He had a work permit,” the security service tells The Times of Israel.
It is highly unusual for Palestinians with legal work permits to carry out attacks in Israel, having undergone significant background checks and regular screenings by Israeli security services.
