An Arab minor was caught with a hidden knife on Wadi Road in Jerusalem's Old City yesterday (Monday). During police questioning, he admitted that he intended to carry out a terror attack.

The youth, a 14-year-old from the Shuafat refugee camp in northern Jerusalem, said that he heard about the attack perpetrated by his friends at the Damascus Gate on Saturday, and decided to do the same himself.

He arrived at the Old City and began searching for Jewish targets.

Before he was able to harm anyone, though, police noticed his suspicious actions and stopped him. During a body search they found a knife ready for stabbing innocent civilians.

In addition to this suspect, Border Police and the IDF arrested ten terrorists in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods of Abu Dis and Azaria last night.
