Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning arrested a Palestinian young man at Abu al-Rish barrier near al-Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil for allegedly planning a stabbing attack.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that IOF soldiers claimed that they found a knife in the young man’s possession while passing through the barrier.
Meanwhile clashes broke out between school students and IOF soldiers after school in the afternoon.
Palestinian factions called for suspending classes after 11 a.m. in the city and announcing a day of anger in protest at the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
