Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
near Kedumim with a knife in her possession.


A 16-year-old Paleostinian attacker attempted to stab security guards at a checkpoint near Jenin in the West Bank Saturday morning as US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
arrived in Jordan to discuss finding a path to restore calm in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Muhammad Zakarnah, the Paleostinian attacker, was reported masquerading as a Krembo (a type of Israeli candy: A biscut topped with whipped cream, covered in chocolate) salesman before ditching his wares and charging at the guards with a knife in his hand in between waiting vehicles.

The guard who stood before the attacker saw the knife, pulled his gun, and fired on the Paleostinian, killing him on the scene.

Big.-Gen. (ret.) Kamil Abu Rokun, head of the Crossing Authority in the Ministry of Defense, praised the performance of security personnel, and specifically the guard's swift response to the attacker, "We've drilled this situation and those like it several times recently, due to the intensifying security situation.

"Security personnel acted just as we expected of them. The Gilboa crossing is mainly used on weekends, allowing thousands of Israeli vehicles to enter Jenin for trade purposes. This attempted terrorist attack hurts the Paleostinians and the Paleostinian economy first and foremost."

The crossing where the attack occurred is operated by Defense Ministry guards, and next to it is a crossing occasionally staffed by IDF soldiers. This is the first time in the current terror wave that snuffies attempt to attack guards who are stationed at West Bank crossings. The Gilboa crossing, which is the northernmost entrance to Jenin and the northern West Bank was closed after the attempted attack.

On Saturday, reports emerged of a foiled stabbing attack in Jerusalem. A Jewish man approached a number of coppers on Shivtei Israel Street, claiming that an arab man tried to stab him. The man said he fought his attempted stabber, who dropped the knife and escaped. The man gave the officers the knife. Police then began searching for the suspected attacker.

On Sunday evening, a Paleostinian woman was arrested near the settlementof Kedumim, when a knife was found in her bag.
The Times of Israel reports about the sarrest of another wannabe:
Tel Aviv police arrested a 17-year-old Palestinian teen clutching a screwdriver in the south part of the city on Saturday afternoon, following a report that he was behaving suspiciously.

Local officers were dispatched to the site at around 3 p.m., after a call was made to the police hotline, where they found the youth with screwdriver in hand. The police officers maintained a safe distance from the teen until the situation was brought under control, Channel 2 television reported. There were no reports of injuries.

The youth, from the village of Yatta in the Hebron area of the West Bank, was transferred to the Shin Bet internal security service, who will investigate whether he had actually been planning to carry out an attack.

During his arrest, the teen told police that he “wanted to die because his uncle had also been killed.”

#1  They bring a screwdriver,
You bring a chainsaw,
They hit your's with a rock
You send theirs to the morgue
