Shin Bet and Israel Police have thwarted a large-scale, multi-casualty terror attack planned for Jerusalem's Temple Mount. A 19-year-old resident of Beit Hanina in East Jerusalem was arrested on suspicion of planning to detonate an explosive device at the Lions' Gate, then enter the Temple Mount and open fire on Jewish civilians and police officers. His stated goal was to kill as many people as possible before escaping.
The suspect reportedly prepared for the attack for two years. During his visits to the Temple Mount for Friday prayers, he allegedly scouted security camera locations and the deployment of security forces. He also searched the dark web for weapons and recently trained in martial arts to enable him to attack with his bare hands if his primary plan failed.
During his interrogation, the suspect confessed to planning the attack, stating that his decision was influenced by viewing footage from the October 7th events. Testimonies from his acquaintances reportedly corroborated the suspicions against him.
Following the joint investigation by the Shin Bet and police, a severe indictment has been filed against the suspect after his plot was foiled.
