Man Arrested for Dropping Young Girl Over Separation Barrier with a Rope
Police arrested a 29-year-old man for dangerously dropping a young girl over Jerusalem's separation barrier with a rope, risking her life.
Jerusalem, 4 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Earlier today, Sunday, police fighters from the Jerusalem Envelope Border Guard District operated in the village of Al-Ram near Ramallah to arrest a suspect who was documented on video about two weeks ago as he lifted a young girl to the top of the separation barrier wall in Jerusalem, tied her with a rope, and lowered her down to the other side of the wall, posing a real risk to her life.
The suspect, a 29-year-old resident of the area, was arrested on suspicion of smuggling infiltrators through the separation barrier and abusing a helpless person, and was transferred for further investigation at the Jerusalem Envelope Border Guard District Central Unit.
