Israeli and PA forces extract Jewish man seen wandering in West Bank city of Qalqilya
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli and Palestinian Authority security forces have extracted a Jewish Israeli man who was seen wandering the streets in the middle of the West Bank city of Qalqilya earlier tonight, the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration says.
An initial investigation has found that the man entered the city to go to a car repair shop. He has been transferred to the police for further questioning, given that Israeli entry into PA-controlled Area A is illegal.
PA security forces have assisted in such extractions roughly a dozen times in recent months.
