Jerusalem, 5 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Benjamin Region — Israeli security forces captured a second terrorist and an additional suspect Monday night following a pursuit connected to an attempted stabbing attack near Ramon in the Benjamin region, the military confirmed.
The incident began Monday afternoon when Israel Defense Forces (IDF) units responded to reports of a vehicle set ablaze by two individuals, one armed with a knife. An armed Israeli civilian neutralized the knife-wielding attacker at the scene before military forces launched a manhunt for the remaining accomplices.
Guided by Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) intelligence, soldiers tracked down and detained both fleeing suspects. All individuals are currently undergoing interrogation as security forces maintain heightened operational readiness in the sector.
