| [IsraelTimes] Security agency alleges stabbing last week was carried out by 19-year-old Paleostinian hoping for ’suicide by cop'. The Shin Bet said on Monday that a stabbing in the central Israeli city of Lod last week, in which a Jewish woman was moderately hurt, was in fact a terror attack and not an attempted carjacking, as was initially reported. The Paleostinian suspect, Malek Bassem Ismail Saada, 19, was picked up on Tuesday -- the day after the attack -- the security service said, but details of the case were not previously revealed to the public. According to the Shin Bet, Saada carried out the attack "because he was tired of his life" and hoped he would be killed by police. The Paleostinian teenager brought a knife with him to a parking garage in Lod just before 8:30 p.m. on Monday. When he spotted a woman with her hair covered, which identified her as a religious Jewish woman, he ran after her and -- shouting a sentence in Arabic -- stabbed her in the upper body, the Shin Bet said. Saada expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, but was tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! as he made his way back to his home in the southern West Bank town of Halhul. According to the Israel Hayom daily, Saada stole the knife from the bakery in the city where he was employed illegally, as he hid not have a permit to work in Israel. "This is another case of a Paleostinian deciding to carry out a terror attack as a solution to his personal problems," the Shin Bet said.
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! as he made his way back to his home in the West Bank town of Halhul. Shots fired at northern West Bank settlement; none injured [IsraelTimes] Shots were fired at a settlement in the northern West Bank on Monday night, the army said. No one was injured in the incident. The bullets struck an external wall of the Shavei Shomron settlement, northwest of Nablus, a military spokesperson said. The Israel Defense Forces launched a search to find the person or people responsible for the attack, the army said. On Saturday, a resident of the nearby Paleostinian town of Sebastia was rubbed out by Israeli troops after he stabbed three people in the Old City of Jerusalem. Ahmad Jazal, 17, stabbed two Jewish youths before fleeing, with police forces giving chase. He then stabbed one of the coppers before he was shot. The two civilians were released from the hospital on Saturday night. | |
