Two suspects were arrested on suspicion of involvement in a lynching attempt on an Israeli mother and her son who accidentally entered the city of Jenin. The incident occurred on August 13, when the mother was driving from the Samaria area toward Afula and took a wrong turn. A Palestinian mob that noticed the Israeli license plates gathered around the vehicle, blocked it, and smashed its windows, in what police defined as an attempt to carry out a lynching. The driver managed to escape from the scene and was transferred to security forces. The investigation was conducted jointly by the Judea and Samaria District Central Unit and the Shin Bet. After the identities of those involved were revealed, the two suspects were arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned. Their detention was extended from time to time until the evidentiary foundation was consolidated. A prosecutor's statement was filed regarding the intention to file an indictment in the coming days. The police called on the public to check travel routes in advance and avoid knowingly entering Area A.
