Palestinian stabber wanted to ‘murder soldier’

Misun Moussa, a 20-year-old Palestinian woman who stabbed an Israel Defense Forces soldier at a checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank city of Bethlehem, says she intended to “murder an army representative,” according to Shin Bet interrogators.

The female IDF soldier sustained moderate to serious wounds in the stabbing attack, which occurred at around 11 a.m. The victim was evacuated to Hadassah Medical Center, Ein Kerem, in Jerusalem.

Police said that two more knives had been found in Moussa’s bag.
