| [IsraelTimes] IDF says serviceman pushes attacker back after being stabbed in shoulder in flashpoint northern West Bank town, before opening fire An Israeli soldier was lightly hurt in a stabbing attack in the West Bank town of Huwara on Thursday, the military and medics said. According to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, the soldier in his 20s was treated at the scene for a stab wound to his shoulder, and taken to Beilinson Hospital in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikvah. The Israel Defense Forces said the maimed soldier managed to push the female Paleostinian attacker away, before he and a soldier stationed with him in the Paleostinian town shot her. The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said the woman was taken at death's door to Rafidia Hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus, where she was later declared dead. The ministry named her as 26-year-old Eman Ziyad Ahmed Odeh. Huwara has long been a flashpoint in the West Bank as it is just about the only Paleostinian town that Israelis regularly travel through in order to reach settlements. There are plans to build a bypass road for settlers to avoid having to travel through the town, but the construction work has been stalled. There have been several shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers in the town in recent months, including the killing of two brothers in February. The attack on Thursday came hours after Israeli security forces killed three Paleostinian button men in nearby Nablus. Two of the men were accused of killing Lucy Dee and her daughters Maia and Rina in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley last month. |

| #2 Female assailants, are they sure? They doing DNA tests on the dead bodies? It could be a bunch of cross dressing jihadis looking for suicide by cop. |
