Suspects attack Border Police at Kalandiya checkpoint, attempt to seize weapons

On July 7, 2026, several Border Police officers were attacked by civilians during a routine checkpoint operation at the Kalandiya junction. The incident occurred when a civilian vehicle approached the checkpoint from the West Bank. As officers attempted to intercept the vehicle, multiple suspects emerged and assaulted the officers, trying to seize their weapons. One officer fired warning shots, and another shot at the lower bodies of two attackers after witnessing an officer being choked. The injured civilians later identified as security guards were treated medically. The incident remains under investigation. Separately, on July 6, Israeli civilians were rescued by IDF and Border Police after they entered Kalkilya in search of a stolen motorcycle.
