Palestinian young woman arrested at Qalandia

Israeli police forces arrested Thursday evening a Palestinian young woman at Qalandia military checkpoint north of occupied West Bank for allegedly attempting to carry out a stabbing attack.

Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Sumari claimed that a 21-year-old Palestinian woman was detained after finding a knife in her possession.

Sumari said that the young woman reportedly attempted to carry out an attack on Israeli troopers stationed at the military checkpoint.

The young woman, from the neighbourhood of al-Eizariya in occupied al-Quds (‘Jerusalem’), was taken by Israeli internal intelligence service Shin Bet for interrogation.
