A resident of Talmon, in the Binyamin region, picked up a hitchhiker outside of Modi’in Elit on Tuesday evening, around 11 PM, according to an update by TPS. The hitchhiker asked for a ride to Neria which is near Talmon.

Along the way, as they approached the Post Office Junction, the hitchhiker threatened the driver with a knife, and demanded that he be taken to the Arab village of Baytillu, which is south of Neve Tzuf/Halamish. The terrorist then tried to set the vehicle on fire.
