Itongadol.- A stabbing attack was attempted at the Rahel Passage checkpoint into Beit Lehem in Judea on Thursday afternoon.
The terrorist, a Palestinian Arab passing through the checkpoint, apparently tried to force an IDF soldier to exit the fortified checkpoint stand, but failed. No one was injured.
After failing to stab the soldier, the terrorist reportedly then fled the scene.
Overnight Wednesday/Thursday, an undercover IDF unit arrested a Hamas terrorist from a Hevron area hospital.
Azzam Azat Shabadan Shalaldeh, 20, stabbed and critically injured 58-year-old Yisrael Ben Aharon during an attack near Meitzad in Gush Etzion two weeks ago.
