Around noon on Tuesday, a suspiciously-acting Arab woman approached one of the checkpoints surrounding the Maarat HaMachpela (Tomb of the Patriarchs) in Hebron.

Border Policemen at the site began to search her, and told her to empty her bag. The woman pulled out two large knives.

The woman from Hebron, in her 30’s, claimed she came there to stab people in a terror attack.
