'Israel' arrests US tourist who allegedly confessed intent to attack Kirya military complex: N12

• N12 News reported the suspect made statements indicating an intent to carry out a terror attack while taking photos.
• Following his arrest by Lev Tel Aviv station officers, the suspect was remanded for a psychiatric evaluation and further interrogation.
• 'Israeli' police confirmed the arrest for "suspicious behavior," withholding the suspect's identity, nationality, and specific motives.

'Israeli' police arrested an American tourist on Sunday outside the Kirya complex -the central military headquarters of the 'Israeli' armed forces in Tel Aviv- after he filmed the area and allegedly stated his intention to carry out an attack.

According to reports from N12 News on Monday morning, the individual aroused suspicion outside the secured complex by photographing the surroundings and allegedly making threats regarding an attack.

Following the incident, officers detained the suspect and transferred him to the Lev Tel Aviv police station for questioning.

Reports claim he was subsequently referred for a psychiatric evaluation.

In an official statement released on Monday, 'Israel' Police confirmed that a tourist had been taken into custody.

However, the official statement provided limited details, omitting the suspect's nationality, the specific military site involved, and the precise nature of the threats beyond classifying his conduct as "suspicious behavior" at the location.

Police brought the suspect before the court on Monday, where authorities requested an extension of his detention as questioning and the investigation continue.

This is a developing story.
