The Arab woman who attempted to enter the Cave of Patriarchs in Hevron Sunday morning with a 25 cm. knife is 23 years old and divorced, from the city of Tulkarm in Samaria. She was caught by Border Police and was taken to interrogation by the General Security Service. She told security forces that she had intended to stab soldiers at the checkpoint.
IDF sources say the woman apparently planned to carry out a stabbing attack "because of problems connected with her family," but did not elaborate. It is not unheard of for Arab women to go on suicide missions because they are being threatened by their families.
