Stabbing attempt thwarted in a West Bank crossing

A stabbing attack was thwarted this morning at an Israeli military crossing next to the Palestinian refugee camp of Qalandia. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told TV7 that a Palestinian assailant armed with a knife attempted to stab an Israeli security guard, who responded to the attacker by opening fire and neutralizing the assailant. No injuries were reported among the security forces at the scene. Rosenfeld said that the crossing was closed for several hours following the attack and that the police opened an investigation into the incident.
