The border policewoman who last month shot and killed an armed Arab terrorist near the Machpelah in Hebron has been transferred to another area due to mounting threats against her life.

The border policewoman received praise from officers, and was awarded a citation for her quick and appropriate response. In the PA (Palestinian Authority) community however she is not a hero, but targeted with a death sentence for killing the 17-year-old terrorists and as the threats against her continues to increase, her superiors decided to transfer her from the Hebron area.
