| [IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian man was rubbed out Tuesday as he tried to stab soldiers manning a checkpoint outside the West Bank city of Tulkarem, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. There were no reports of injures among the security forces. "An assailant armed with a knife attempted to stab an IDF soldier at a crossing adjacent to Tulkarem," the IDF said. "Responding to the imminent threat forces fired towards the attacker, resulting in his death." The incident came shortly after Israel Police revealed they thwarted a planned stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Monday. A Paleostinian who did not have a permit to be in Israel was incarcerated Book 'im, Mahmoud! as he rode a bus in East Jerusalem. He admitted during questioning that he intended to reach the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem where he planned to stab security forces at the site. |
