A Jerusalem court extends the remand of a Palestinian woman who tried to stab a police officer in the capital’s Old City last night.
The 44-year-old, from the Jenin area in the northern West Bank, will be held for another six days, until September 10.
Police say that according to an initial investigation, the woman carried out the attack in order “to become a martyr.”
The officer who was attacked was unharmed, as the knife did not penetrate the protective vest he was wearing. He then subdued the assailant without gunfire.
