Police on Chaggai Street in the so-called Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City on Monday, 22 Shevat, spotted a suspicious looking 14-year-old Arab male. The suspicious youth was near a Jewish home in the area.

Police approached the youth with caution, maintaining a safe distance in the event he was armed with a knife, and instructed him to identify himself. He was found to be concealing a knife. He was taken into custody without incident.

The district commander praised his troops for preventing yet another terror attack in the Old City.

During the early afternoon hours on Monday, an Arab male who was inspected by soldiers near Beit Anoun Junction found he too was concealing a knife, thereby preventing yet another Arab stabbing attack.
