Palestinian stabbing attack thwarted by quick-thinking Israeli driver
On Sunday morning, a knife-wielding female Palestinian terrorist approached a group of Israelis at the entrance to the IDF Samaria Brigade's base, but an Israeli driver saw what was happening and knocked down the terrorist with his car. The terrorist was then shot and killed by citizens and a soldier on the scene. The driver whose quick action stopped the attack was Gershon Mesika, former head of the Samaria Regional Council.
