A PA (Palestinian Authority) resident who tried entering Green Line Israel with a knife which he just had sharpened for his murderous mission, was B�chasdei Hashem apprehended before he could murder his former employee and others.

After being apprehended he told police he wished to become a “Shahid” (martyr). This is what police have learned following the arrest of the suspect at the Kalandia Crossing to Jerusalem on May 13, 2018, and his subsequent interrogation.

Authorities have drafted a criminal indictment against the Shechem area resident, after he admitted to his planned actions. The suspect, in his 30s, is a resident of Dir Sharaf. He is also being charged in taking part in unlawful protests and possession of a M16 assault rifle, relating to other past activities.

The accompanying photo shows a picture of the sharpened knife that he was concealing at the time of his arrest.
