Israeli forces on Saturday evening arrested the suspect in this week’s car-ramming attack at the entrance to Kfar Yona in central Israel.

Arkan Khaled, 27, from the nearby Arab-Israeli city of Tayibe, was apprehended during a search at a construction site in the area, according to a police statement.

On Thursday, eight IDF soldiers were wounded in a car-ramming attack at the Beit Lid/Hasharon Junction. The terrorist struck troops waiting at a bus stop on Route 57 at the entrance to Kfar Yona, located between Netanya and Tulkarem.

Khaled fled immediately after the crash, leading security forces to launch a manhunt.
