Police put up roadblocks Tuesday following a report of three female soldiers that Arabs tried to kidnap one of them as they were making their way to an IDF
base in central Israel.
The soldiers said that as they were walking to the base, a white car, probably a Honda, slowed down and the men in the car started harassing them. The soldiers ignored the men in the car, but the men nonetheless continued to follow the girls.

The car then immediately drove away.
