Border Guard officers arrested a Palestinian who piqued their suspicion next to the Cave of the Patriarchs near Hebron. The arrested Palestinian, who was carrying a knife, said that he planned on stabbing soldiers and police officers stationed on the site.
This is the third stabbing attack thwarted Tuesday. A young Palestinian from Ramallah was apprehended in the Old City with a knife on him. Another young Palestinian was arrested Tuesday morning at Qalandiya checkpoint carrying a knife and a Molotov cocktail. (Efrat Weiss)
