From Ynet:
A female terrorist attempted to carry out a stabbing attack in Hebron on Friday morning when she produced a knife at one of the entrances to the Cave of the Patriarchs during a routine security check. Israel Border Police soldiers shot and neturalized the terrorists. No Israeli injuries were reported.
At Haaretz, they offer this news flash:
Initial report: Attempted stabbing attack in Hebron, assailant shot
Not much more from the Twitter account of the official spokesperson at Israel Police
Female Palestinian terrorist attempted to stab border policeman at Cave of Patriarchs, Hebron. Officer responds by shooting terrorist. [Posted about 10:00 am Friday morning]
Is she alive? We don’t know. Ma’an News Agency [“Palestinian woman in ‘critical condition’ after being shot by Israeli police in Hebron“] is allegedly saying that
Israeli forces Friday shot and “neutralized” a Palestinian woman who allegedly attempted to carry out a stabbing attack near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron, according to an Israeli police spokesperson.
(A few minutes after we posted that Ma’an article, they changed it to say she’s dead.)
Knifing attacks on worshipers and security personnel at the sacred and ancient Tomb of the Patriarchs are no longer a rarity, unfortunately.
