A Palestinian woman wrapped in a Hamas flag and carrying a small knife was shot and wounded by Israeli forces at the Qalandiya checkpoint near Jerusalem in what the police say was a foiled terror attack.
The woman is receiving medical treatment at the site and is in custody.
She arrived on foot at the checkpoint and refused to listen to instructions by guards and Border Police forces, who “quickly responded by shooting at her and neutralized her,” according to the police statement.
A search of her belongings uncovered a small knife.
There are no additional injuries.
