The IDF says a Palestinian woman attempted to stab soldiers at a checkpoint in the Jordan Valley a short while ago.

The woman arrived at the Tayasir Checkpoint, near the West Bank town of the same name, and “after she refused to identify herself, she tried to stab the IDF soldiers who were at the post,” the military says.

No troops were wounded in the incident.

The suspect’s condition is not immediately known.
