Police Tie Beit Ummar Ramming Hunt to Karmei Tzur Farm Attack

Police said at 17:00 IDT that Judea District forces were searching for an Israeli-plated vehicle driven by a Palestinian suspect who fled Keren Farm near Karmei Tzur after allegedly entering the farm, attacking an Israeli resident and trying to ram him. The update followed the IDF's 16:30 alert that troops from the Etzion Brigade had responded near Beit Ummar to a reported ramming attempt, with no injuries, and opened a pursuit and searches. JPost and Srugim carried the initial alert, while HotNews carried the police follow-up. Israel should keep the pressure on until the suspect is caught, because no-injury attacks still test community security in Judea and Samaria.
