Developing Story: A stabbing attack was attempted at the entrance to the Israeli embassy in Ankara, Turkey, according to local media. According to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, two men attempted to break into the embassy and attacked an officer with a knife. Security forces shot one of the assailants in his leg, lightly wounding him.

Turkish Police said that the attacker had shouted “Allahu Akbar” (‘God is great’ in Arabic) during the attack.

Following the police crackdown on the Israeli-Arab Knesset party Balad announced on Sunday, the police said on Tuesday morning that 13 additional suspects have been arrested. They are activists for the party who are suspected of involvement in a series of offenses involving money that was received and used to fund the party.

The police suspects that the suspects were involved in a systematic misrepresentation of the origin of funds, while committing a series of financial offenses, including money laundering, false reporting, forgery, receiving an object by deception under aggravated circumstances and numerous violations of the Political Parties Financing Law.

The suspects are expected to be brought before court in northern and central Israel to extend their remand, depending on the progress of the investigation.

Apart from the newly arrested suspects, 23 other suspects are currently detained, including lawyers and accountants. The police said that six of them will be brought today to court to extend their remand, and court discussions on the 17 others will take place tomorrow.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that a suspected stabbing attempt occurred shortly after 8 a.m. at a checkpoint at the entrance to central Samaria. But it was later discovered that the suspect had no weapons, and that she had faked the attack in the hope of being shot and killed by the Israeli forces. However, she was just lightly wounded.

A statement by the Defense Ministry said that a 13-year-old Palestinian girl arrived on foot with a suspicious backpack to a part of the checkpoint only meant for vehicles. Security guards from the Israeli Crossings Authority repeatedly ordered her to stop, and then fired warning shots in the air. When she continued approaching the guards they shot her in the leg. No weapon was found in the suspect’s belongings, and she stated that she had come there “to die.”

Magen David Adom medics treated the teenager and transported her to Meir hospital with a light injury in her knee.

The incident took place on Route 55 which links the city of Kfar Saba in central Israel, and Nablus in Samaria. The road was temporarily closed following the attempted attack.
