Teenager who planned terror attack indicted by IDF prosecutor after confession

An IDF military prosecutor has indicted a 16-year-old resident of the West Bank for allegedly planning a terror attack. The teenager was arrested two weeks ago and has since confessed to police interrogators, providing details about where he had hidden a knife connected to the accusations.

In parallel actions, Israeli police announced the arrest of nine suspects during overnight raids across the West Bank. Among those detained was the father of a Palestinian terrorist responsible for a deadly shooting incident near Gilad Farm on Friday. The police did not specify the father's suspected involvement or allege his participation in the attack itself, stating he was transferred for questioning.

Further arrests included three wanted individuals in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, apprehended during an undercover operation by Border Police, directed by the Shin Bet security agency. Authorities stated these three were suspected of involvement in terrorist activities but offered no further details or confirmed connections to the recent shooting.
