Two Terror Attacks Averted; IDF Forces Stay Alert As More Teenage Girls Take Up Knives
On Tuesday, two separate attempted stabbing attacks by Palestinian teenage girls were averted and the assailants apprehended. No injuries were reported.
A 16-year-old Palestinian girl attempted to stab Border Police security guards at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday morning. The Damascus Gate was the site of a fatal shooting and stabbing terror attack on Wednesday which left a 19-year-old Border Policewoman, Hadar Cohen, dead, and another female cop critically injured.
Police requested to search the 16-year-old’s backpack, upon which she pulled out a knife and tried to stab the policemen. The officers reacted quickly, subduing the suspect and taking her in for questioning.

One day earlier on Monday, an 11-year-old boy was stabbed in his home in Ramle by a 17-year-old Israeli Arab, who initially fled the scene but was later apprehended. The victim was moderately wounded. Police are investigating the attack to determine whether or not it is terror-related.
Also on Monday, another stabbing attack attempt was prevented at the Damascus Gate when a 42-year-old Israeli Arab woman was found to be carrying a knife. The suspect, a resident of the Old City, was arrested by security forces and taken in for questioning.
