Three Palestinians were arrested after they allegedly attempted to kidnap two Israeli teens. The girls were waiting at a hitchhiking station in the West Bank on Thursday when the men, armed with a handgun, drove up in their car. One girl, Hadas Mann, ran away immediately and called Israeli security forces with her cell phone. The men tried to force the other girl, Emunah Shahar, into the car. She fought them off, suffering a light head wound.
