The IDF says an incident yesterday in which a Palestinian man entered a West Bank settlement farm was not an attack as initially claimed.
“Following an investigation of the incident by security forces, the suspicion of an attempted car ramming attack was ruled out,” the army says.
The suspect had entered a farm near the settlement of Karmei Zur. The police claimed he assaulted a settler there and tried to ram him with his car.
He was detained not long after by security forces at the Metzadot Yehuda Crossing.
