An 18-year old Arab resident of Hevron was arrested on Saturday at a local IDF checkpoint after he aroused the suspicions of soldiers on the scene.
The man was arrested and was found to have been carrying a knife on his person.
Investigators say the man had intended to carry out a stabbing attack at the checkpoint as an act of vengeance for his cousin, who was killied half a year ago during a terror attack.
On Friday a deployment of soldiers from the Netzah Yehuda Battalion – also known as Nahal Haredi – shot and killed a 38-year old Arab who had charged an army position near the town of Ofra in Samaria.
