Palestinian arrested over last week’s Jerusalem stabbing
A Palestinian teenager is arrested in connection with Thursday’s stabbing attack in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of A-Tur, the Shin Bet security agency says.
The suspect is identified as Ahmad Na’im A’shayer, 19. He is also suspected of hurling firebombs and firecrackers at security services on April 15, the Shin Bet says.
The Palestinian lightly-to-moderately injured a Jewish teenager after stabbing him with a “sharpened plank” on Thursday, near the Mount of Olives cemetery.
