Police, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet, announce the arrest of a Palestinian suspected of planning to attack Jerusalem’s light rail with fireworks.
According to police, the suspect — a 25-year-old resident of Shuafat in East Jerusalem — also snuck fireworks onto the Temple Mount and was involved last year in producing explosives and hurling a pipe bomb at officers.
He was arrested last month, but details of the case were under gag order. He is due to be indicted later today.
