Terrorist Stabs 25-Year-Old Israeli Woman to Death

In three separate Palestinian terrorist attacks today, a young woman was stabbed to death and two others injured in the West Bank settlement of Gush Etzion, an Israeli soldier was stabbed and critically injured in Tel Aviv, and a third would-be attacker pulled out a knife at a Jerusalem light rail stop, but was subdued by vigilant bystanders before he could do any harm.

From VIN News:

A 25-year-old Jewish woman was killed in a stabbing attack at the Alon Shvut junction in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank on Monday.

According to an initial investigation into the attack, a car pulled up to the hitchhiking post at the entrance to the Alon Shvut settlement. The driver then stepped out of the car and stabbed three people.

The guard stationed at the entrance to the settlement shot the terrorist. It was not initially certain if he was killed or not.

Two other people were lightly hurt in the attack.

The IDF closed off the area and was searching for possible additional suspects.

The attack came hours after a Palestinian stabbed and critically injured an IDF soldier near Hahagana train station in Tel Aviv.

  • The terrorist yemach shmo ...

    … was released from Israeli prison in two prisoner deals?!?!
    Not once, but twice this cur (yes it’s a word, mongrel dog) was released? Why? To Kill another Jew?
    IDF should shoot to kill, and then ask questions while the terrorist dogs lay dying in their own tainted blood.
    No more prisoners, no more swaps. Enough of this madness.
