During her questioning, the 17 year old said she regretted her stabbing was unsuccessful, presented her drawings illustrating her desire to stab an Israeli soldier.
The Military Attorney General’s Office submitted an indictment Monday night to the military court in Samaria in the West Bank against a 17-year-old girl for attempting to stab an IDF soldier two weeks ago as he entered an Israel Border Police base in Qalqilya.
According to the police, last month the girl, from Beit Amin in Qalqilya, approached the soldier at the entrance to the base brandishing a knife with intent to stab him.

The girl was taken in for questioning shortly after the incident where she confessed to having planned to carry out a stabbing attack for a long time against a soldier and expressed regret that her attempt was not successful.
During the investigation, the girl also presented drawings by her illustrating her strong desire and motivation to attack a member of Israel’s security forces.
