The thwarted knife attack at a West Bank checkpoint on Thursday evening is one of several similar incidents reported in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, a terrorist was shot after throwing stones and pulling a knife at the Rachel Crossing on July 8, and a suspect was arrested following an attempted ramming near the Tarqumiya crossing on July 17. No direct link between the incidents has been established. The knife-wielding terrorist was subdued by soldiers and taken for questioning; no injuries were reported.
