Weekend Terrorist Attacks in Hebron Thwarted

Three terrorist attacks took place in the Hebron region over the
weekend.


 


On Friday, two terrorists in a car tried
to run people over
at the Elias Junction near Kiryat Arba, Hebron’s sister
city. The male driver and female passenger were stopped by quick-thinking
Israel Defense Force soldiers.


 



 


The female passenger was the sister of a female terrorist who tried to
commit a car ramming attack at the same location in June. They were residents of nearby
Bani Na’im, which has been the base of much terrorist activity.

Later in Hebron, an Israeli soldier was stabbed and wounded by a terrorist who
was quickly eliminated. 


 


 



 



On Saturday, a second terrorist stabber attacked a soldier in the Tel Hevron neighborhood near
the archaeological park. A video depicts the terrorist approaching the soldier with
identification papers and then pulling out a knife and stabbing him. The terrorist was
quickly tackled by other soldiers and neutralized. The stabbed soldier suffered wounds
to the face.

What is Israel facing when it comes to terrorism? A newly released video shows
the moments in which a Palestinian assailant attacked Israeli soldiers with a knife in
Hebron Saturday morning, lightly wounding one of them before being shot and killed. The
attacker, identified as Hatem Abdel-Hafiz al-Shaloudi, is seen approaching a soldier at
a checkpoint near the West Bank city’s Jewish Tel Rumeida neighborhood and presenting
him with a piece of paper, ostensibly his credentials. The moment the soldier accepts
the paper and glances down at it, Shaloudi is seen pulling out a knife and lunging at
him.

Also over the weekend, a terrorist with a knife was eliminated in front of the Shchem
gate in Jerusalem’s Old City on Shabbat. 



On Friday, an Egged bus driver was injured when large stones and paint bottles were
thrown at the bus as it traveled from Jerusalem to Maale Adumim.



On Sunday, a terrorist
stabbed an IDF soldier
in Efrat.



The Jewish Community of Hebron thanks the brave soldiers of the IDF who stand guard
protecting the lives of both the local community and the 700,000 people who visit every
year. In addition, the IDF presence and the normalized civilian community ensures that
the terrorist infrastructure does not leak out into the rest of Israel.
