Family of Palestinian terrorist warned Israel ahead of stabbing attack — report

The family of a Palestinian teenager who fatally stabbed an Israeli-American man in the West Bank warned Israeli security forces ahead of the attack.

The mother of the assailant, who was named by media as 17-year-old Khalil Jabarin, showed up at the Meitar Crossing in the southern West Bank just before the stabbing and told soldiers she was worried he may carry out an attack but didn’t know where, Channel 10 news reports.

Jabarin’s grandfather also says the family warned Palestinian and Israeli security forces after the teenager did not come to school this morning.
