A tourist from the United States was arrested in Tel Aviv on Sunday after arriving at a security facility and allegedly stating his intention to carry out an attack. Security personnel at the site became suspicious and alerted the police. Officers from the Lev Tel Aviv station responded, detained the tourist, and transferred him for questioning regarding the circumstances of his arrival and his alleged statements.
During the investigation, sources familiar with the details reported that the suspect had difficulty responding coherently to investigators' questions. His behavior raised concerns about his mental state, leading authorities to decide to send him for psychiatric evaluation at Abarbanel Hospital on Monday.
The police have also contacted relevant authorities to determine the next steps, including the possibility of deporting the tourist from Israel. Authorities are expected to bring the suspect before a judge on Monday to request an extension of his detention, pending the investigation's progress and the results of his psychiatric assessment.
