Border Guards arrested a 22-year-old Palestinian Authority woman, Sunday afternoon, at one of the inspections stations next to the Me'arat Hamachpelah Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron.
The Border Guards sent her through a metal detector due to her suspicious behavior, leading to the detection of the knife she was carrying. She drew the knife while trying to escape but was talked into laying it on the ground. During questioning it became apparent that she intended to carry out a stabbing.
