The Israeli military said it detained a young Palestinian woman in possession of a knife near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the West Bank city of Hebron.

Palestinian sources identified the woman as Wuroud Jawad Abu Sneineh, who was attempting to cross one of the Israeli military checkpoints in the area en route to her house in the Abu Sneineh neighborhood. She is being held at an unknown location.

Israeli forces frequently arrest young women near the Mosque on the grounds that they are carrying knives.
