The 24-year-old Palestinian entered Israel illegally and allegedly killed a cyclist while riding a stolen vehicle in Tel Aviv, the Israel Police announced.

A 24-year-old Palestinian man from Nablus was arrested in Tel Aviv after a fatal car accident where he allegedly ran over a cyclist, according to Israel Police. The incident occurred on a stolen vehicle. Police found a bag containing tools used for vehicle theft, including an ignition control module, a hammer, and glass-breaking implements, inside the stolen vehicle.

The suspect had entered Israel illegally without proper documentation. This is the second such incident in September involving a West Bank resident stealing a vehicle in Tel Aviv. In a previous incident, a 46-year-old Jenin resident was arrested on September 9 for stealing the car of a Tel Aviv District Court Judge.
