Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli prosecutors are set to file attempted murder charges against a Palestinian man in his 30s following a thwarted arson and stabbing attack near the Hanina Farm in Samaria last month.
According to a joint police and Shin Bet investigation, the suspect, a resident of the village of Rammun, arrived at the farm on October 5 armed with a gas lighter and a 10-centimeter knife. After setting a nearby vehicle ablaze, he attempted to ambush and stab local residents, who spotted him, intervened, and neutralized him before summoning security forces.
Police officers arrested the lightly injured suspect at the scene and seized the weapon. Following the investigation’s conclusion, prosecutors filed a formal declaration of intent to indict him for attempted murder and terror planning, requesting his continued detention until the end of legal proceedings.
