| [IsraelTimes] Soldier fires warning shot into air as suspect approaches him with knife at Tapuah Junction; no injuries reported A Paleostinian man suspected of planning to stab Israelis at the Tapuah Junction in the West Bank was arrested Sunday night, the military said. According to the Israel Defense Forces, the alleged assailant, armed with a knife, approached a soldier who was "conducting routine security activity" in the area. The soldier fired warning shots into the air, and the suspect was arrested, the IDF said. The Paleostinian man was taken for further questioning by the Shin Bet security agency. Nobody was hurt in the incident. The suspected attempted attack came as tensions remain high in the West Bank, after Israeli security forces stepped up operations following a deadly wave of terror attacks against Israelis earlier this year that left 19 people dead. At least two Paleostinian button men were killed in an Israeli military raid early Sunday morning in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. Another four suspects were arrested elsewhere in the West Bank overnight, the IDF said. |

| #9 ^ Saves on cab fare for your weekly check-in. As for the suicide thing, there is some value in that, too. "Look how awful the Juice are, shooting an innocent un-armed with only a knife Palestinian!" You know it will make the evening news. |

| #8 There’s a lot of that, ruprecht. Either they’re trying to commit suicide by IDF or they want to be arrested for a variety of reasons. |

| #7 He was walking up to the soldier with the knife out while far enough away the soldier fired warning shots? This Palestinian didn't really want to kill anyone. |
