Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency have arrested an 18-year-old resident of Umm el-Fahem suspected of planning a terrorist attack in Jerusalem. The operation, which lasted about a month, aimed to thwart crimes against state security and involvement with a banned organization.
According to the Israel Police press service, the suspect swore allegiance to the Islamic State and had been developing a plan for an armed attack over the past year. His primary targets were IDF soldiers patrolling near the Old City of Jerusalem, an area with a high concentration of civilians and tourists that is typically under heavy guard by the army and the Border Police (MAGAV).

The investigation has concluded, and prosecutors have filed an indictment, seeking to keep the suspect in custody until the trial's completion.
