Border Police forces managed to peacefully thwart a terror attack in Hebron on Friday afternoon. A Palestinian approached several border policemen, drawing a knife from his clothes when the troops called for him to halt. When the Palestinian tried to stab the troops, one cocked his weapon while the others managed to subdue him. No one was wounded on either side. The Palestinian, a 16-year-old resident of Hebron, said he had come to carry out a stabbing attack against troops positioned at the Cave of the Patriarchs.
