Spokeswoman Luba Samri said the woman in her 60’s was assaulted with a knife in Rahat, a mostly Bedouin town in Israel’s south.
The last five months have seen nearly-daily Palestinian assaults, mainly stabbings, against Israeli civilians and security personnel that have killed 27 Israelis. Some 155 Palestinians, the majority of whom Israel says were attackers, were killed by Israeli fire during that time. The rest died in clashes with Israeli security forces.
Israel says the violence is fueled by a campaign of Palestinian incitement. Palestinians say it stems from frustration at decades of occupation.
Y is she in an arab town??refua shleima
maybe i m ignorant and no choice considering where she lives
This is an aberration. Rahat is filled with Beduin loyal to Israel. They have a cemetery filled with IDF soldiers who died for their country. This was some sick individual.
Lets not forget this same city produced a couple months ago the terror attack in ber sheva bus station the terrorist was from rahat.
