Hello,
no, that's no Antipalus, but a male of the large Machimus-group (including male Eutolmus, which are difficult to separate from Machimus in the male sex). There are so many Machimus species in the mediterranean area and there is so much confusion within in the genus Machimus, that I do not try to identify the specimen to species level.
Greetings, Danny Wolff

Another possibility is a species of the genus
Engelepogon, former
Acanthopleura, mainly distributed in the Eastern Mediterraneum.
