A Palestinian resident of Anata intended to carry out a stabbing attack in the Temple Mount area, withdrew his intention and turned himself in to the police.
The investigation shows that the 37-year-old Palestinian intended to carry out an attack with a knife that he cleared in the area yesterday (Monday).
After repeating his intention and repenting, he turned himself in to the police on the ground.
The knife with which he intended to carry out the murderous campaign was located and seized by the police.
This morning, he was brought to a hearing to extend his detention at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, in order to continue the investigation.

Meanwhile, during a meeting of the Jerusalem District Command staff, the district commander presented certificates of appreciation and appreciation to the David area police and Border Police fighters who recently thwarted a number of attacks in the Old City area of Jerusalem.
"Every one of the policemen and fighters who have worked and are operating in Jerusalem has a significant part to play in maintaining security and countering terrorism.
This is a difficult, day-to-day task that involves many risks and courage, and it is not always possible to assess how much you really prevented thanks to the operational activity. "
