Itongadol.- A stabbing attempt took place at Gush Etzion Junction in Judea on Thursday night, although fortunately no one was wounded.
Three terrorists were shot dead by security forces who quickly responded to the threat.
Gush Etzion Junction is crowded on Thursday nights with passengers waiting for buses and others looking to hitch a ride, and apparently the terrorists sought to murder Jewish victims waiting at the junction.
However, IDF soldiers who are stationed at the junction fired at the terrorists, taking them out.
Just shortly before the attempted attack, a 16-year-old terrorist from Shuafat in northeastern Jerusalem was nabbed by security forces as he was leaving the neighborhood.
The alert officers and soldiers searched the terrorist and found he had a knife concealed on him, and he admitted he was setting out to conduct an attack.
Several hours earlier on Thursday, an Arab terrorist armed with a knife was arrested in Hevron in Judea, marking the first of the three stabbing attempts of the day.
