Rome, Mar 16 (LaPresse) – The Shin Bet and Israeli police say they have foiled a plot by an Israeli Arab to carry out an attack in Jerusalem's Old City during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Times of Israel reported this. According to the joint statement, the suspect, identified as Uday Mobarsham, a resident of the village of Makr in the north of the country, was arrested in February after he purchased a homemade rifle and began training with it. During interrogation, the man stated that he intended to open fire at police officers or Israeli Jews near the Damascus Gate in the Old City.
