    In response to the killing of 16-year-old Ashraqat Katnani after she tried to stab Israelis near Nablus, the government said: “Israel is violating all international treaties that provide protection for children. Israel has become professional in distorting the facts to divert attention from its crimes by accusing victims of its crimes that they were carrying knives or by planting a knife next to their bodies.”

    The PA government said that Katnani was a “victim of daily crimes and organized terrorism carried out by the occupation.”

    However, the girl’s father, Taha, was quoted by Palestinian media outlets as saying that his daughter had planned the attack because she wanted to die as a “martyr.”

    He said that his high-school daughter set out to seek “martyrdom.” He added: “I’m proud of her. The father said that Katnani had also asked that her organs be donated after her death. 

    Citizens and security forces killed Katnani on Sunday, after she had attempted to knife Israelis as they waited by a bus stop and a hitch-hiking post, near the Hawara checkpoint just outside the city of Nablus in the West Bank.

    Former Samaria Council head Gershon Mesika, who ran over Katnani with his car, that he “saw someone large running after a young woman. I didn’t think twice, I turned the steering wheel to the right, I pressed my foot onto the gas, and ran her over.”

    “She fell over and then security forces shot her,” he said.

    This incident was one of several which occurred on Sunday. In another incident, a Palestinian tried to ram a taxi into Israelis at a West Bank junction near Jericho and then got out with a knife in his hand to stab them, before an armed Israeli at the scene shot him dead, police said. 

    In the latest incident, police said a Palestinian stabbed and seriously wounded an Israeli woman at a junction near a West Bank settlement bloc. A military spokesman said the assailant was shot and killed. 

    Ofir Gendelman, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Arabic-language spokesman responded to the charges on Twitter.

    “The PA says the girl who carried out a stabbing attack today was innocent but her dad says: She wanted to stab Israelis, I’m proud of her. Father of the 16 y/o Palestinian girl who went on a stabbing attack today: She wanted to stab, asked me about the best knives in the house.”‎

    The Arabs expertise is murder and they are relishing on spilled blood, Why dosent Israel embark on a program to have them all emigrate to Syria and join there the civil war on either side, I’m sure they will remain grateful to Israel for facilitating such a move, and granting them the joy of their life,

    What other type of instrument is used for stabbing attacks besides knives? No reason for Israel to plant the knives on stabbing attacking Palestinians!

    It’s simply mind boggling to see how the Palestinians lie with a straight face and are believed by the suckers of the world . I guess because the subjects of their lies are Jews, the Esavs out there are happy to swallow the garbage hook, line and sinker.

    Aleah, just like when abbass y’sv accused Israel of assassinating the other 12 yr old terrorist…until it was proven that he was being treated in an Israeli hospital! Btw that little SOB has been released and is not being criminally charged because he’s a “minor!”

    shmear every dead terrorist in pig fat and then parade them around the palestinian villages hanging by rope from a helicopter for all to see.

    Than destroy/annihilate their families and houses and towns they live in and which promote and are happy with their behavior ,and after a couple of months see what the result would be.

    Than try harsher methods
