According to initial reports, a female terrorist stabbed a security person in the stomach Sunday afternoon at the Kalandia checkpoint in northern Jerusalem.

He was taken to the hospital in moderate condition.

The terrorist was reportedly caught and her knife confiscated. According to initial reports she was not shot.

Earlier this month an Arab stabbed a Border Policeman in the neck at Shuafat in northern Jerusalem. In that case, too, the attacker was not shot.

The IDF has relaxed security throughout Yehudah (Judea) and Shomron (Samaria) since the Obama administration took office in the United States, as part of efforts to improve the Arab standard of living. In addition, it has been reported that the IDF has received more stringent orders regarding the right to open fire at terrorists.
