Teenage Israeli attacker to be held for psychiatric observation

Israeli courts have ordered the continued detention of an Israeli teen, who went on a stabbing spree last week and injured four Palestinians in Dimona, a town in northern Israel. 

The suspect’s attorney, told the court that his client had severe mental problems and that he should be submitted to further psychiatric observations.

After his arrest, the suspect whose name cannot be released because he is a minor, said that he had carried out the attack because “all Arabs are terrorists”.
