Stabbing prevented at Tomb of the Patriarchs

A 30-year-old Palestinian woman carrying two knives is arrested after trying to enter the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the West Bank city of Hebron, police say.

Police say the woman was behaving suspiciously as she tried to enter the flash-point holy site. Border police searched her and found the weapons.

Recent days have seen a spike in Palestinian shooting, stabbing and car-ramming attacks in the West Bank.
