Two Arab teenagers are indicted in a Jerusalem court for allegedly planning to carry out a terror attack last month.
The two, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of A-Tur, are charged with attempted murder and being in possession of a knife, the Hebrew-language media reports.
The indictment states that the two arrived in the Old City of Jerusalem on the morning of October 27, 2015, where, as planned, they went into a building supplies store in the area of the Nablus Gate and bought an ax and a knife. They then went waited for a suitable Jewish victim near the Jaffa Gate, a primary access point to the Old City, at which stage they were arrested.
The court orders the two detained until the end of criminal proceedings against them.
