Police say officers have arrested an armed 19-year-old Palestinian who sought to commit a terror attack, near the central Israeli town of Tzur Yitzhak.
According to police, the suspect — apparently illegally in Israel — was found to be carrying a knife, a stone and a letter allegedly “indicating his intention to carry out an attack in Israeli territory.”
“Officers from the Tayibe station conducted scans in the area of Tzur Yitzhak and Route 444 upon receiving a report of a man walking around the Tzur Yitzhak junction in a suspicious manner, with a stone in his hand,” police say.
The suspect is taken for further questioning.
