Israeli police officers on Friday evening arrested a Palestinian Arab terrorist who was planning to carry out an attack in the Sharon region in central Israel.
The terrorist, a 19-year-old resident of Tulkarm, was arrested near the community of Tzur Yitzhak. He was found to be in the possession of a knife, a rock and a letter in which he expressed his intention to carry out an attack.
Police forces located him and arrested him after receiving a report of a person walking around the area in a suspicious manner.
The suspect had reportedly entered Israel from the PA-assigned territories of Judea and Samaria despite not having a permit.
