Palestinian woman arrested for alleged stab attack

 Israeli forces detained a Palestinian woman outside the Old City of Quds ('Jerusalem') on Saturday, for allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack that lightly injured an Israeli security guard.

Israeli police says the Palestinian woman approached a “civilian security guard” while holding a knife in her hand on Sultan Suleiman Street, across from Damascus Gate, and stabbed the Israeli guard in the shoulder.

Witnesses confirmed that a Palestinian woman was detained near Damascus Gate. The woman had a knife in her hand and had stabbed someone in the area, witnesses told Ma’an.

Witnesses added that the woman was immediately detained by Israeli forces, who then closed down the area where the incident took place.
