IDF soldiers foil attempted attack at West Bank roadblock
By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent

No IDF soldiers were wounded in the incident, nor was any property damage caused.

The attempted attack came after a Palestinian plowed his car into pedestrians at a busy Jerusalem intersection on Monday, wounding more than a dozen soldiers.

Meanwhile Wednesday, a 16-year-old Palestinian was arrested at the Hawara West Bank checkpoint on suspicion that he had planned to stab an IDF soldier with a 10 cm. knife.

When the Palestinian teen took out the knife, the soldier wrestled the weapon away from him and successfully subdued him. The young Palestinian was detained for questioning.

This incident was the second violent attack at the Hawara checkpoint this week. Earlier this week, a Palestinian woman threw acid in the face of an IDF soldier, who subsequently lost his vision in one eye.
