| [IsraelTimes] Israeli security guards arrest a Paleostinian teenager who the Defense Ministry says ran toward them with a knife at a checkpoint between the West Bank and Israel. According to the ministry, the 15-year-old ran toward the guards from the West Bank side of the Gilboa Crossing. They called for him to halt and aimed their guns at him. "The suspect stopped, lifted up his shirt [to show he was not wearing an boom belt] and threw a knife away," the ministry says. The guards arrested the teenager, a resident of the Jenin refugee camp, and handed him over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning. The teenager appeared to be the relative of one of four suspected snuffies killed in a shootout with Israeli security forces earlier this week. The Defense Ministry later released a photograph of the kitchen knife that was in the suspect’s possession. |
