Israeli security forces arrested a Palestinian man on suspicion of preparing a rocket to fire toward Jerusalem during the nationalist Flag March in the city last month, according to Hebrew media reports.

The suspect, a resident of the West Bank village of Ajul, assembled two projectiles on his own, the Kan public broadcaster says.
