Stabbing Attempts Thwarted in Samaria and in Hebron

Jerusalem, 27 December, 2015 (TPS) -- A Palestinian woman was arrested after apparently attempting to perpetrate a stabbing attack in the community of Ma’ale Shomron in Samaria.

She walked towards the entrance to the community, and when security guards suspected her and approached her, she discarded a knife and attempted to flee. She was caught and arrested by the forces.

Several minutes later, another stabbing was prevented in Hebron. A Palestinian woman was caught with a knife during a routine security check at the entrance to the Cave of the Patriarchs.
