Police prevented two Palestinian teens from committing a terror attack on Wednesday in Jerusalem, after catching them with knives.
Israeli police arrested two knife wielding Palestinians teens, ages 12 and 13, in the center of Jerusalem on Wednesday, apparently as they were on their way to commit another terror attack.
Police and citizens noticed two suspicious acting Palestinian teens with their hands in their pockets, and security forces approached and check them.
Police discovered both potential terrorists were carrying knives.
They were arrested and taken for questioning.
A police commander commended his officers’ “professional action, which may have prevented a terror attack and the harming of innocents.” He vowed to proceed with “determination and professionalism” to guard the public’s safety.
Police have recently caught Palestinian teenagers on their way to commit terror attacks, and a separate pair, ages 14 and 15 were successful in stabbing and wounding two Israelis, one of them a teen who sustained critical wounds.
In another attack, two Palestinian minors, ages 12 and 13, attacked a security guard at a Jerusalem light rail station in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze’ev.
This incident was the latest in a long series of almost-daily Palestinian terror attacks – some more than once a day – that have plagued Israelis over the course of three months, claiming the lives of 24 victims and wounding over 285.
