Palestinian Tries to Stab Soldiers at West Bank Checkpoint
(Times of Israel) On Tuesday, "an assailant armed with a knife attempted to stab an IDF soldier at a crossing adjacent to Tulkarem. Responding to the imminent threat, forces fired towards the attacker, resulting in his death," the Israel Defense Forces said. In another incident, Israel Police revealed they thwarted a planned stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Monday. A Palestinian who did not have a permit to be in Israel was arrested on a bus in east Jerusalem. He admitted that he intended to reach the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem where he planned to stab security forces.
