There has been yet another knifing attack at Tapuah Junction. This morning, a Palestinian Arab male emerged from taxi that dropped him at the security checkpoint at Tapuah Junction (other reports say he got there via his own car), and ran with a knife toward soldiers shouting “Allahu Akbar,” according to police quoted by
Times of Israel. That's the location where numerous attacks - including stabbings, shootings and vehicle-rammings - have been executed by Palestinian Arabs in the past two months, and less frequently in the years before. [Some dozens of our
Tapuah posts are

i24news is reporting that he died of his injuries. No Israelis are reported hurt.
UPDATE via
The Associated Press: "
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the assailant as 51-year-old Samir Seresi."

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
