On Wednesday, Israel Police said, "An attempted stabbing attack occurred at 12:50pm at the Tapuah Junction. A suspicious individual approached Border Guards stationed in the area who recognized her behavior and warned other soldiers. She was ordered to stop and warning shots were fired into the air. She did not heed the warnings of the soldiers and suddenly drew a knife and moved in their direction. At this point, soldiers opened fire in her direction. The terrorist was identified as Rahik Yusuf, 19, a resident of Asira ash-Shamaliya."

Tourist events throughout Samaria will continue as planned. Tens of thousands of tourists are in Samaria right now, and I hope we have a pleasant and quiet holiday."
