Police in the Northern District said late Tuesday afternoon that they had thwarted an attempted stabbing attack, after they arrested two men from an Arab Israeli village near Migdal Ha’emek who confessed to planning to carry out an attack.
The Northern District said that officers were called to a gas station in Migdal Ha’emek after an employee reported seeing two suspicious figures. After a short search they said they located two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, who had discarded a kitchen knife and a makeshift blade while police were chasing them.
Police said the two teens confessed to plotting a stabbing attack, but that detectives have yet to determine where or when it was to take place.
