The Mateh Binyamin Regional Council said following the arrest of a Palestinian Arab disguised as an IDF soldier that "residents who spotted a terrorist on the side of the road called Binyamin hotline, which reported directly to the army. A military force rushed to the scene and captured the terrorist with weapons and ammunition in his possession. "
The head of the Binyamin Council, Israel Gantz, added, "The vigilance of the residents prevented a serious attack. The residents who immediately called Binyamin hotline acted correctly. In any suspicion or security matter, do so and call 1208. Thank you to the IDF soldiers for their prompt action and the council's security department. The combination of forces prevented a severe event, Thank G-d. "
