The Israeli security establishment suspects that Tel Aviv terrorist Ra’ad Hazem was driven from the West Bank city of Jenin to the northern Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm through a gap in the security barrier, the Ynet news site reports, without citing any sources.

The suspect who drove Hazem is known to security forces, Ynet says.

From Umm al-Fahm, Hazem took a bus to Tel Aviv where he carried out the attack, according to the report.
