Woman Singlehandedly Drives Terrorist Away


(Ynet News-Ha'aretz) Ilana Curiel - Yael, 39, a resident of Sde Avraham in southern Israel, managed to chase out a Palestinian who broke into her home and threatened her with a knife and an iron rod. She struggled with him inside the house at 4 a.m., singlehandedly protecting her four children. Yael's father, Danny Matzpun, told Ynet: "She pushed him into the bathroom and blocked the door using one of the kids' beds. She hurt herself during the struggle; he leaned against her and stabbed her in the face and the shoulder." The assailant then climbed out a window and ran away, before he was caught by security forces two km. from the scene. A military source said the suspect charged at the soldiers with his knife and shouted "Allahu Akbar" before he was shot and killed.
