Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
A Palestinian woman concealing a rifle was caught trying to cross through the West Bank security fence into Israel.
The woman, who had the rifle strapped to her back, told interrogators on Sunday that she had been sent by Hamas to perpetrate a terror attack on Israelis, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
She tried to enter central Israel from the Palestinian city of Kalkilya.
It was the latest in a series of attempted and successful Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers in recent weeks.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
