A 15-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank town of Kafr ‘Aqab was detained yesterday morning at the entrance of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City with a knife, police say.
Along with the knife, the teen was also carrying brass knuckles, a mask and a Palestinian flag in his bag.
He was brought to a court hearing earlier today, and his remand is extended until Sunday.
Police did not say if the suspect admitted to planning an attack.
