A tunnel was discovered Wednesday in Judea and Samaria near the A-Zaim crossing. According to findings, the tunnel reached a depth of about 25 meters. Police seized various digging equipment at the site, including excavation tools, water bottles, gloves, and face masks.
Investigators opened a probe and collected forensic evidence. Using DNA samples extracted from the findings, they traced two Arab men—one from Al-Eizariya and one from East Jerusalem, both in their 30s.
Forces raided the suspects’ homes and arrested them for questioning. The investigation is examining suspicions that the tunnel was recently dug and intended to serve as a route for serious security offenses, including terror attacks and smuggling illegal residents into Israel in violation of the law.
