A female Palestinian armed with a large knife was B’chasdei Hashem apprehended by border policepersons on Sunday morning, thereby thwarting a stabbing attack at the Ma’aras HaMachpelah in Hebron.

When border police pointed their weapons at her, she dropped the knife and shouted, “you all deserve to die”.

When they tried to restrain her, she then pulled out the screwdriver. She was disarmed and taken into custody.

B’chasdei Hashem, there were no injuries among intended victims, as one can see she was clearly planning to murder Jews judging by the size of the knife she was concealing.
