IDF soldiers arrested a knife-armed woman at Ganot Junction on Wednesday after Shin Bet intelligence indicated she intended to carry out a stabbing attack. The military said the arrest took place in the Samaria Brigade area, with troops acting on information provided by the security service. The woman was caught carrying the knife and was transferred to security forces for questioning. No one was injured. The joint statement did not disclose the suspect’s name, age, nationality or the exact time of arrest.
