Two 13-year-old Israeli Arab Girls Behind Stabbing Attack in Central City of Ramle

The Rishon Letzion Magistrate's Court extended by five days the remand of the two Israeli Arab girls suspected of stabbing a security guard at Ramle's central bus station on Thursday morning.

The investigation of the two is ongoing, and they appear to have been politically motivated to carry out the attack, police said.

Ramle Mayor Yoel Lavie said after the stabbing attack that police were still investigating the assailants' motivation.

"This is not characteristic of the Arab community in Ramle," said Lavie. "Ramle is a multi-culture city in which Jews and Arabs live in coexistence."

Lavie added that educational facilities in the city had been instructed to hold discussions on the incident with students.

Both suspected assailants in the stabbing attack in Ramle are 13-year-old Israeli Arab females. 

One was traveling with a school bag and the two allegedly pulled out knives when requested to pass through a security check at the entrance to Ramle's central bus station. 

The security guard at the entrance to the station was lightly wounded with stab wounds in his leg and arm.
