Palestinian woman attempts to stab Israelis but is shot by security in nick of time

Scene in Sheikh Jarrah after attempted murders of Jews: July 9, 2023

A 60-year-old Palestinian woman pulled out a knife at a railway station in Sheikh Jarrah, in East Jerusalem with the possible intent of killing as many Jews as Allah would permit, but evidently permission was not granted and she was shot by a security guard before drawing Jewish blood.

The woman was confronted and shot on Haim Bar Lev Street, near the Israeli National Police Headquarters and she was arrested shortly thereafter. 

The woman was shot in the leg and received medical treatment by the Israelis, something the Palestinian Authority would not offer had the shoe been on the other foot, and she is in stable condition.

Kan 11, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that the woman attempted to kill the security officer with the knife she was wielding, but he obviously reacted in time to neutralize the situation.

Israeli Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai visited the scene, at the Ammunition Hill station, according to reports and the IDF increased their presence in the area after the incident.

"A report was received of an attempted stabbing at the train station in Jerusalem, and there were no injuries," an Israeli police spokesperson said in a statement.

"The suspect was immediately neutralized by the train security guard, is currently being treated and is in a minor condition."

Last Friday a man named Abdel Jawad Saleh, 24, from the central West Bank village of ‘Arura, was taking part in the rioting at Umm Safa village, one of several Palestinian towns where settlers rioted last month when four Israelis were killed in a terror shooting at a gas station outside of the settlement of Eli.  Saleh and others were throwing stones at IDF forces and was shot and killed.

Muhammad Bahr, a member of Umm Safa's village council, told Wafa news agency that Israeli soldiers who were being attacked, shot and killed Saleh while he was in the northern area of the village.

Umm Safa, along with other villages near Ramallah and Nablus, has come under violent settler mob attacks in recent weeks that left at least one Palestinian killed.
