A female Arab, who elicited the suspicions of border police at the Tapuach Junction checkpoint on Monday, was instructed to “halt”, but she ignored the order.

After being ordered a second time and ignoring it, soldiers implemented the protocol which includes firing in the air and then at her lower torso. They carried out the protocol and neutralized the suspected terrorist. There were no injuries to security personnel.

The incident is under investigation.
