Israeli border guards instructed the young woman to stop for an inspection, at which point they spotted a large knife in her hand, al-Samri said, according to Ma’an.
The forces then raised their weapons and detained her for questioning. No gunshots were fired during the incident, al-Samri said, adding that the 18-year-old was from the village of Beit Fajjar.
Several alleged, attempted, and actual attacks have been recently carried out by Palestinian individuals against Israeli military and civilians.
