Israeli soldiers arrested on Saturday afternoon one Palestinian resident at Huwwara checkpoint, near the West Bank city of Nablus .

 

Army claims that the resident carried a 20-cintemeter knife.

 

Last week, soldiers arrested a woman carrying a kitchen knife she bought for her household; the woman was arrested and interrogated for attempting to “stab a soldier”.

 

 Soldiers could not prove their claim that the woman attempted to attack them with the knife, simply because she was not carrying it on her body.
