Palestinian Workers Allowed Back Into Ma’ale Adumim After Stabbing Attack

Jerusalem, 29 February, 2016 (TPS) -- Following a security assessment headed by commander of the Judea and Samaria District General Shlomi Michael, Palestinian workers will be allowed tomorrow to enter the Jewish city of Ma’ale Adumim, which is located directly east of Jerusalem. The security assessment was made in light of the stabbing attack last week that was carried out by a Palestinian employee at the Ma’ale Adumim mall.

Before being allowed to enter, Palestinian workers must first have their visas examined by the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria.

Israeli security forces are continuing to make additional assessments throughout Ma’ale Adumim, focusing with particular emphasis on crowded locations, entrances to the community and industrial zones.
