Israel Defense Forces soldiers eliminated a female Palestinian terrorist armed with a knife outside the city of Ariel in central Samaria on Tuesday, the Hatzalah Judea and Samaria rescue group said.

No Israelis were wounded in the attempted attack at the Giti Avishar Junction on Route 5, also known as the Trans-Samaria Highway.

According to Israel Hayom, the terrorist had thrown rocks at Jewish drivers, as well as at security forces, leading the soldiers to open fire in self-defense. She pulled out the knife and was subsequently shot dead.
