[Jpost] A female terrorist was shot dead on Wednesday after she attempted to stab a police officer at the Qalandiya crossing near Jerusalem.
No attacks yesterday. The crossings were closed - do you suppose there's a connection?
The woman, reportedly in her 50s, entered a car lane on foot, which aroused the suspicion of the guards at the Jerusalem-area checkpoint.
“Security personnel who saw that she was approaching them performed the proper arrest procedures and called for her to stop. She did not respond to their calls and took out a knife. As a result of this, a shot was fired at her leg and she was injured,” police said in a statement.
The woman was taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus for treatment, where she was pronounced dead, the medical center said.
