Security forces foil stabbing attack at Qalandia checkpoint

Security forces detain a young Palestinian after he pulls a knife on them at the Qalandia checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank.

According to police, the would-be attacker, aged 17 from Nablus, arrives at the checkpoint on bus carrying passengers who have Israeli ID cards, which the youth does not possess. The security forces ask him to step off the bus, but he objects to a search and produces a knife.

The teen is taken in for questioning. No one is injured in the incident.
