A Suspected Palestinian Terrorist’s Possible Arrival In Canada
2026-06-21
Jafaj has learned that a Palestinian radical who openly called for terrorist attacks against Jews and the West is planning to immigrate to Canada and has been posting that on his social media accounts. Salah Mazen Kayed Yahia (DOB: 29 March 1993, Tulkarem, West Bank), brother of a known Palestinian terrorist, is seeking immigration to Canada. Yahia is a well-known radical in Tulkarem and a sibling of Salah Yahia, the 19-year-old perpetrator of the 18 January 2025 stabbing attack on Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv, who was killed by Israeli police after injuring one individual.
An Israeli military source operating in the West Bank-Tulkarm area has confirmed to JAFAJ Sources that Yahia has been under Israeli internal security surveillance since his brother’s attack, but to Amman, Jordan, leaving behind his wife and daughter with his in-laws in Hebron. He currently refuses to return to the West Bank, as he is aware he is wanted for questioning by the internal Israeli security agency, the Shabak, for suspected radical and terror activities.
Jafaj has learned from its sources in the Jordanian General Intelligence Department (GID) that Yahia has been openly expressing public pride in his terrorist brother’s actions and indicated a desire to “follow in his footsteps against the Zionists.” [COMMENT: The Jordanian authorities exhibit extended leniency towards anti-Israeli terror inciters, and many radicals, including notorious Hamas leaders, are frequent visitors to Amman, with some meeting King Abudlalah himself. END COMMENT]
JAFAJ learned from official Canadian contacts that, despite his claims of leaving for Canada soon, Yahia does not currently have approval or status to land in Canada, but “is not flagged as a threat in the immigration system, with no alert regarding his terrorist brother”, thus allowing him to file for immigration as a regular applicant.
(S/NF) An Israeli military source in the West Bank confirmed Yahia is considered a “person of interest” and authorities wish to interrogate him if he arrives at Israeli borders.
