On May 11, 2026, Ayman al-Shalmon, a resident of the village of Qalandiya north of Jerusalem, carried out a shooting attack against Border Police officers. The officers shot and neutralized him on the spot.
An investigation conducted by the JSR following the attack revealed a worrying picture: the terrorist’s Facebook account contained photos of him at the beaches of Tel Aviv, and alongside photos from the beaches where he hung out freely with his friends, there were images of weapons and luxury vehicles.
A Red Flag
A reality in which a terrorist, who was neutralized during a deadly attack attempt against Border Police officers, moves around freely in Israel within recreational areas and population centers is a dangerous and unacceptable reality.
