Israeli Border Police thwarted a stabbing on Wednesday morning at the Al-Jib crossing outside of Givat Ze’ev, northwest of Jerusalem, a statement by a spokesman for the unit revealed.

According to the statement, a 43-year-old Palestinian drove up to the checkpoint, and was spotted by troops on duty to be holding a knife.

When they aimed their weapons at the would-be assailant, he threw down the knife, police said.

He was then arrested and taken in for questioning by security officials.

This report first appeared in Israel Hayom.

“I look at it as a form of tzedakah,” Ronnen Harary told JNS, of his North America campus tour. “It’s not just giving back from writing a check. It’s giving back my time and my energy and my thoughts to the kids.”
PM says the IDF will apply its “aggressive” refugee-camp model in Hebron, evacuating residents and conducting house-to-house searches.
“Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing and math, not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes,” stated Rep. Tim Walberg, chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee.
“Pittsburgh parents deserve complete transparency, intellectually honest instruction and an assurance that their children’s education is being guided by academic excellence rather than ideological objectives,” Steve Rosenberg, of NAVI, told JNS.
