| Palestinian woman detained in West Bank town after allegedly trying to stab officers |
| 2023-06-10 |
| [IsraelTimes] A woman attempted to stab Israeli troops with a box cutter before being apprehended and arrested at the scene in the flashpoint northern West Bank town of Huwara on Friday, Border Police said. One of the officers noticed the woman approaching him and ordered her to stop before firing in her direction. The woman was then tased by another officer before she was able to injure anyone, Border Police said. The young woman’s identity could not be immediately verified. Huwara has long been a flashpoint in the West Bank, thanks to a main thoroughfare running through the town also being used regularly by Israelis to travel to and from settlements. There are plans to build a bypass road for settlers to avoid having to travel through the town, but work has dragged on for years. |
