| [IsraelTimes] Alleged attacker approaches Tapuah Junction in West Bank, is shot after ignoring warning fire; no Israelis injured. A Paleostinian woman allegedly attempted a stabbing attack at the Tapuah Junction, south of Nablus in the West Bank, Wednesday, and was rubbed out by Israeli police. There were no injuries to Israeli security forces or civilians. "Attempted stabbing at Tapuah Junction," the Israel Police tweeted. "A short while ago a female suspect approached Border Police officers at the scene holding a knife. When she failed to heed their calls to halt, they shot and neutralized her." In a subsequent statement confirming the alleged attacker was killed, police said officers fired warning shots in the air before opening fire on her. They said she was 19 years old, from the nearby village of Asira ash-Shamaliya. In the aftermath of the attack, the junction was closed to traffic. The junction has been the scene of several stabbing, shooting, and car-ramming attacks. |
