Palestinian who tried to infiltrate settlement turns himself in to IDF

One of the two Palestinians suspected of attempting to infiltrate a Jewish settlement in the northern West Bank last month has turned himself in to the IDF, the army says in a statement.

In late January, soldiers near the settlement of Itamar spotted the pair dressed in army uniforms trying to enter the gated community.

One was arrested at the scene, but the other escaped.

Israeli authorities were investigating whether the pair were planning to carry out a terror attack or sought to commit another type of crime.
