Israeli Police Prevent Tragedy
Posted on
On Friday, April 8th, Israeli police nabbed a 25 year old Palestinian man yielding a large knife in his bag. The unnamed subject, a resident of the West Bank, was arrested and brought in for questioning where he admitted to attempting to carry out an attack on Israelis.
This stabbing attempt follows a string of attacks recent to the area including a 30 year old woman in Rosh Ha'avin. The offender, a young woman, was taken into custody without incident.
That stabbing ended a nine-day stretch without attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
In the past six months since the ongoing wave of terror began in October 2015, 29 Israelis and four foreign nationals have been killed. Nearly 200 Palestinians have also been killed, some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops, according to the Israeli army.
