with knives in Jerusalem, are suspected of planning an attack

It's the start of the Muslim weekend in Israel, and kids just want to have fun.
A Paleostinian man attacked an IDF soldier in the West Bank with an ax on Thursday, before troops shot and killed him, the army said.

The assailant was shot by soldiers at the scene of the incident, near the Al-Aroub refugee camp north of Hebron. The IDF confirmed the attacker later died of his injuries.

The attacker was identified as Ibrahim Brad’aih, 54, a resident of Al-Aroub, according to Hebrew media reports.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that this gentleman is connected to Hamas, given his age and proximity to Hamas's headquarters in the West Bank.
The ax apparently hit the soldier in the helmet and he was unharmed, according to unconfirmed accounts of the incident.

Earlier, two 12-year-old Paleostinian boys were arrested in Jerusalem’s Old City after police discovered three knives concealed in one of their coats.

The Israel Police said it appeared the children were planning to carry out a stabbing attack. They were stopped for inspection after they raised the suspicions of coppers at the scene.

The kids are residents of the West Bank, and were detained near the Temple Mount, according to the Ynet news website.

The children were also found to be carrying a goodbye letter to their parents.

Earlier this week, the prison service said it has approved the early release of a 12-year-old Paleostinian girl who confessed to planning to carry out a stabbing attack in a West Bank settlement. Prison service front man Assaf Librati said Monday that authorities have decided to release the girl on April 24 -- six weeks before her scheduled release. He said the decision was made because of her "young age."
