The entire country is on vacation for the week of Sukkot (Tabernacles), but we know from bitter experience that terrorists – individually and collectively – can strike even when Israelis are in relaxed mode.

From Ynet today:

An attempted stabbing attack took place at Tapuah Junction in the West Bank on Wednesday afternoon. A female attacker approached the Border Police at the junction and attempted to stab them. They responded by firing, and the attacker was neutralized. No Border Police were injured.

Via social media sources, we think the meaning of “the attacker was neutralized” is that the armed assailant, a young woman estimated to be 19 years old, was shot and killed. The attack took place around 12:50 pm this afternoon.
