Bethlehem - Ma'an/Agencies - Soldiers arrested a Palestinian outside Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque on Friday, according to Israeli news reports. The Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that border guard forces seized the Palestinian "who received a knife from another Palestinian" outside the mosque. It was not immediately clear what suspicions led to the detention, which the newspaper said was still being investigated, nor why only one of the two Palestinians allegedly involved was detained.
