Israeli security forces foiled a planned terror attack during Jerusalem Day events after undercover Border Police officers arrested a suspect in eastern Jerusalem following precise intelligence from the Shin Bet.

According to Israeli Police spokespersons, undercover officers from the Jerusalem Border Police unit were deployed to the Abu Tor neighborhood after receiving intelligence that a wanted suspect was allegedly planning to carry out a terror attack during Jerusalem Day celebrations.

Authorities said the suspect was located inside a car wash complex, where undercover forces operating covertly moved in and arrested him without injuries or casualties.

The suspect was transferred to the Shin Bet for further investigation.

Police released dramatic helmet camera and aerial footage showing the arrest operation carried out by the undercover unit.

Israeli officials emphasized that cooperation between the Border Police undercover units and the Shin Bet continues to play a major role in thwarting terror attacks and protecting Israeli civilians, especially during high profile national and religious events such as Jerusalem Day.

Jerusalem Day celebrations brought massive crowds into the capital today, with heightened security across the city amid ongoing terror concerns.
