Israeli security forces have set up checkpoints on Route 1, a main thoroughfare leading to Jerusalem, following intelligence about potential terrorist activity in the area. This heightened state of alert is part of ongoing efforts to ensure public safety and prevent attacks.
After a chase, a suspicious vehicle was stopped near the Latrun area. Security forces are conducting additional searches for another suspect.
The investigation revealed that the driver was transporting illegal workers to a construction site in the capital. For now, the alert level has been lowered.
This development follows enhanced preventative actions by the IDF, police, and intelligence services across Israel.
