A 48-year-old resident of Kafr Qasim is being indicted in connection with the stabbing attack of a man in Jerusalem’s Old City earlier this month.

The man, a taxi driver, drove the suspect from the Palestinian village of Qalqilya to Jerusalem, where the terrorist stabbed a young Haredi man before being shot dead, according to the indictment.

The indictment charges the taxi driver with negligence for bringing a West Bank resident to Jerusalem, and says that he “should have suspected that a West Bank resident could carry out an attack in Israeli territory.”
