“The suspect was reportedly mentally ill and was recently treated by the Palestinian Authority’s health and welfare entities.”
Interesting that there is an awful lot of this kind of “mental illness” among “Palestinians.” It is a shame to see this denial and willful ignorance even among Israelis, who have every reason to know better.
“Man killed in stabbing attack in central Israel, Palestinian arrested,” by Tzvi Joffre and Tobias Siegal, Jerusalem Post, August 26, 2020:
A Palestinian suspect was arrested after allegedly stabbing and killing Shay Ohayon, 39, on Wednesday at the Segulah Junction in Petah Tikva. The background of the incident is still being investigated, but Israel Police say that it is being looked into as a terror attack.
Magen David Adom paramedics found the victim unconscious and without a pulse at a bus stop in the area and transferred him to Belinson Medical Center in critical condition while conducting resuscitation efforts. The victim passed away at the hospital.
The suspect, a 46-year-old Palestinian from a town near Nablus in the West Bank, stabbed the victim and then calmly walked away from the scene towards Segula Junction where he was arrested by police. The suspect was found with a knife on him. Later, he was handed over to the Shin Bet and was interrogated. Interrogators believe it may have been a terror attack, and are looking into the possibility of the suspect receiving help in carrying out the attack.
The suspect reportedly had no criminal background and held a permit to work in Israel as a construction worker.
According to N12, the suspect’s calm demeanor and general behavior following the attack raises certain concerns, as it does not correspond with the expected behavior of terrorists. The Shin Bet uses behavioral profiles to prevent terrorist attacks and carry out preemptive measures.
