Armed Palestinian said arrested at Jerusalem-area checkpoint
Security forces reportedly arrest an 30-year-old Palestinian at a checkpoint south of Jerusalem armed with a knife.
Reports in Hebrew-language media say the West Bank resident was nabbed at Rachel’s Tomb crossing near Bethlehem, where he later admitted to investigators he planned to carry out an attack against Israeli troops.
