Hebrew sources reported that the Israeli police on Wednesday arrested a Palestinian citizen at a checkpoint north of Occupied Jerusalem over alleged knife possession.
Hebrew website “0404” said that a force of border guards stationed at Qalandia military checkpoint north of Jerusalem arrested a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip.
The website which is close to the Israeli army claimed that the 32-year-old detainee was carrying a knife and that is why he was taken for interrogation.
The Israeli police have arrested dozens of Palestinian youths at Qalandia checkpoint which links Jerusalem with Ramallah under the pretext that they were attempting attacks against Israeli soldiers.
Since the outbreak of the Jerusalem Intifada in October 2015 many Palestinians have carried out anti-occupation stabbing shooting and car-ramming attacks near the same checkpoint.
