JERUSALEM (JTA) — A Palestinian woman arrested at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron said she planned to commit a terror attack.
The woman, in her 20s, was detained Monday after acting suspiciously. She was discovered to be carrying three large knives.
It is believed that she planned to stab a policeman or a soldier.
She reportedly was released from prison several months ago after serving a prison sentence for a similar attempt.
