Israel - A police unit and a Kfir Brigade force arrested a Palestinian woman carrying two commando knives at the Einav checkpoint in the northern Samaria region today.

The security forces received information of the woman's plans prior to her arrival at the place.

As the suspect arrived at the checkpoint by vehicle, the forces ordered her to step out of the car. During a routine search they found two commando knives on her person.

The 27-year-old Tulkarm resident was turned over to the security forces for further questioning. Security sources estimated that the woman was planning to carry out a terror attack against Israelis.

Earlier Thursday Palestinians opened fire at an Israeli vehicle moving near the West Bank settlement of Ofra. No injuries were reported in the incident.

IDF forces canvassing the area recovered several shell casings. The search for the perpetrators continued.

Local Jewish residents criticized the army for taking several hours to arrive at the scene and begin searching for the terrorists.
