Another terror attack struck the Holy Land this morning. The Times of Israel’s Judah Ari Gross reports that a female IDF soldier was stabbed and wounded by a female Palestinian terrorist at a West Bank checkpoint:

Other security personnel in the area quickly pounced on the Palestinian assailant, subduing her, according to police.

There were no reports of gunfire used in the arrest.
