Police arrest motorcycle thief on way to Jerusalem, discover he’s a resident of Gaza’s Khan Younis

Police say they stopped and arrested a suspected motorcycle thief overnight on Route 1 on the way from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, only to discover that the suspect is a Palestinian resident of the Gazan city of Khan Younis.

It is unclear how the 27-year-old man has entered Israel from his home city, which is currently the main battle zone between IDF troops and Hamas terrorists in the Strip.

Police say the suspect, who doesn’t even have a driver’s license, has been taken for questioning, while the motorcycle has been returned to its owner.
