[Ynet] 17-year-old girl tossed in the slammerYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! at Tapuach Junction with knife, admits to planning attack; 14-year-old arrested near Bani Naim after trying to stab soldiers; another attacker in Tapuach Junction shot and killed while attempting stabbing attack; none hurt on Israeli side. Israeli security forces stopped three terror attacks on Sunday morning. No Israeli troops were hurt in any of the incidents. Around 8:30am, a 17-year-old Paleostinian girl arrived at the Tapuach Junction with a knife in her possession. She was stopped by troops stationed at the roadbloack. In initial questioning, the girl admitted that she planned to commit an attack after watching inciting videos on social media. The Kutzra resident was arrested and taken for further questioning. Three hours later, a 14-year-old Paleostinian boy from the village of Bani Naim, close to Hebron, tried to open the door of an army vehicle and stab one of the soldiers inside. The troops overpowered and handcuffed him without opening fire. Several minutes later, another attacker tried to stab soldiers near the Tapuach Junction. He was shot and seriously maimed, and later succumbed to his wounds. On Saturday night, a stabbing attack was thwarted near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem - the ninth attack there over the past three weeks. |

| #1 The present Israeli response is often to take down the house of the attacker. However, the attacker is often a naive youngster inveigled into attacking by incitement. A better approach, in my opinion, is to trace the inciters and take down their houses. Yelling fire in a crowded theater is not protected free speech. Neither is extolling murderous violence to immature minds, that results in actual attempts at murder. |
