Army soldiers prevented another attempted terrorist attack in Hevron Monday morning when they spotted a 17-year-old girl with a knife approaching the Jewish neighborhood of Tel Rumeda. Last week, Border Police guards arrested a male teenager with weapons at the Patriarchs' Cave.
Attempted knifings have become almost a weekly occurrence at the Jewish areas of Hevron, which last week hosted tens of thousands of guests for the Sabbath portion of the Torah that describes the purchase of the cave by Abraham.
