| [IsraelTimes] No Israelis injured in incident at A’Zaim crossing, outside Jerusalem A Paleostinian teenage girl was rubbed out as she tried to stab an Israeli security officer at a checkpoint outside Jerusalem on Wednesday, police said. According to police, the assailant attacked one of the guards at the A’Zaim crossing east of the capital, in the central West Bank. "A rapid response by additional security forces brought about her neutralization with no injuries to the security personnel," police said in a statement. The Paleostinian girl was identified as Samah Mubarak, 16, from the nearby village of al-Ram, the Paleostinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency reported. She was maimed and later pronounced dead, the West Bank’s Paleostinian health ministry said. The crossing was temporarily closed following the attack. Jerusalem Police Commissioner, Yoram Halevi, visited the site and spoke with the security officers on the scene, police said. "Police are investigating where the female suspect came from, and heightened security is continuing in the area," police said. Israeli security officials have said that many attacks by Paleostinians, especially women, are driven by personal and domestic issues, more than by ideological considerations. In some cases, Israeli officials have said Paleostinians appeared to have carried out attacks or attempted to do so in order to be rubbed out by Israeli security forces, as a form of "suicide by cop." |
