Security Forces Arrest Knife-Carrying Suspect at Tunnels Checkpoint

Border Police and crossing troops arrested a Hebron resident at the Tunnels Checkpoint south of Jerusalem after he arrived on a motorcycle and drew their suspicion. Police-based reports said the suspect refused orders to stop for inspection, prompting the forces to carry out an arrest procedure; a search found a knife on his body. He was taken for further security questioning, and no Israeli casualties were reported. One initial report described an attempted stabbing of a female soldier, while two Hebrew reports described the incident as a suspicious stop and knife seizure without reporting an attack.
