From Israeli Arab man accused of planning stabbing attack in Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA resident of the Arab town of Tira in central Israel is indicted for allegedly planning a terror attack some two weeks ago.
The man, Louis Aqel Sultan, came to the Damascus Gate to Jerusalem’s Old City some two weeks ago carrying a knife, the indictment says.
At one point, he aroused the suspicion of police, who told him to empty his pockets, which he allegedly did — save for the knife.
It was only when they searched his person that officers found the blade.
Before setting out for Jerusalem, the suspect allegedly watched videos about previous attacks in the city.
