Police catch six Palestinian men entering Jerusalem with knives, firebombs

A statement from the Israel Police says officers at the Mazmuriya checkpoint southeast of Jerusalem caught six Palestinian men who were allegedly planning to carry out a terror attack in Jerusalem.

Border Police officers noticed a vehicle passing through the checkpoint with different license plates on the front and back, and stopped the vehicle.

Inside were six men, residents of the West Bank, with not one carrying any form of identification.

A search of the vehicle located a bag full of knives, several stun grenades and firebombs, or bottles filled with gasoline.

The police statement claims the suspects confessed to planning a terror attack.
