An Arab woman in her 30's, who was arrested, Monday evening in the area of the Me'arat Hamachpela Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron, after a knife was found in her bag, is no stranger to the Israeli justice system

An examination of her record revealed she had been arrested in November 2016 by a Border Police officer when she tried to enter the same area with two knives, for which she served a prison sentence.
