This morning (Monday), a female Arab terrorist pounced upon a female soldier at the Calandia crossing in Northern Jerusalem and stabbed her. The soldier, a 25 year old female officer was taken to Hadassah Ein Cerem Hospital by a Magen David Adom ambulance crew.
Police and security forces overcame the terrorist and neutralized her.
Investigations of the attack show that the woman terrorist from Yesha waited to have her bags checked at the Calandia crossing and approaches a female soldier claiming she wanted to ask her something. She then took a knife out of her bag and stabbed the female soldier.
During her investigation it became apparent that she is a married 38 year old mother of 9 children from Taiba near Ramallah.
A different terrorist attack took place in Tel Aviv yesterday at the Herod’s Hotel where an 18 year old Arab terrorist stabbed 2 men and one woman and then hit an elderly man outside the hotel. For details read article here.
During the night the GSS visited the family of the terrorist to interrogate them. It comes out that the terrorist received a one day pass to enter Israel which was granted to him through the efforts of the Pro Palestinian NGO called NPT, the Natural Peace Tour whose mission is to offer ‘peace tours’ to Palestinians and the opportunity to interact with Israeli youth. It seems he had a different type of interaction in mind.
