The ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) spokesman reports that the 31-year-old female terrorist who detonated a bomb near a-Zayim Checkpoint on Sunday morning 28 Tishrei lives primarily in the Jabil Mukhaber neighborhood of Jerusalem. It was reported earlier that she is a resident of Jericho but it has since been learned her primary residence is Jerusalem and she is in PA-occupied Jericho from time to time. The ISA report adds she has not record of previous terrorist activities.

When the policeman was speaking with her she set off the cooking gas with a flammable substance leading to the policeman sustaining moderate injuries. She was seriously burned over her entire body and remains in a Jerusalem hospital.

The ISA report stresses this was not a bomb but rather a tank of cooking gas that was ignited.
