Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Knife-wielding Palestinian arrested by Border Policeman near entrance to Tomb of the Patriarchs
2018-02-11
The nonsense goes on.
[Ynet] A Paleostinian armed with a knife was tossed in the slammer
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
by Border Policemen near one of the security checkpoints at the entrance to the Tomb of the Patriarchs complex in Hebron.

An inquiry into the incident turned up that the Paleostinian, a boy from one the villages around Hebron, arrived to the checkpoint where forces found the knife on his person.

An initial interrogation found he intended to carry out a terrorist attack. He was handed over to security forces for further interrogation.
The Times of Israel adds:
With Border Police weapons cocked at him after setting off metal detector outside Tomb of Patriarchs, 15-year-old raises shirt to reveal weapon.

#6  #3 Should I no longer post these reports unless an actual attack occurs?

I consider them useful data points, regardless of the outcome. Sort of like taking the temperature of a swamp to determine the how active the inhabitants are.

#2  Plus you get a good story about how you fought single-handedly against the Zionist Occupation. All in all, a good day.

#1  I heard, from friends son who served at checkpoints, that this happens regularly - they come to checkpoint, stop a few meters off and say "I have a knife". Thereby they are detained overnight, get 3 meals, and sent back.
