Following the deadly Ariel attack, tw other terror attacks took place on Sunday, one in Jerusalem and one in Hebron. In Jerusalem, Palestinians threw rocks at police officers and their vehicles in the neighborhood of Isawia in east-Jerusalem. The officers had entered the neighborhood in order to deal with an act of violence that had taken place. According to a police spokesperson, the stones hurled by terrorists caused severe damage to windows of two police cruisers. Thankfully, there were no injuries to officers reported.

Later in the day, a Palestinian teenager was apprehended when she brandished a knife at security personnel near the Ma’aras HaMachpelah.

She had allegedly attempted to stab a soldier with it, in a similar fashion to what transpired outside of Ariel. The female terrorist, aged 17, was discovered at the checkpoint with a weapon and was ordered to comply with their instructions. At that point, the terrorist drew the knife and charged the officers.

The officers managed to overpower the terrorist and disarmed her.

The young woman was taken into custody and handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported in this incident either.
