"Armed with a sharp object", she tried to stab some officers and was "neutralized".
This is the reconstruction of the Israeli police on the events that took place in the Old City of Jerusalem, in Israel, where a woman was killed for an alleged attack against the agents.
The assailant, the police explained, attacked them in a street leading to the al-Aqsa mosque: she approached them near one of the entrances leading to the Esplanade of the Mosques (Temple Mount for the Jews), she pulled out the knife and tried to hit the cops.
They opened fire and killed her. According to the authorities, the woman in her 30s is from the city of Qabatiya, near Jenin in the West Bank, and it is not yet known how she managed to enter Israel. In recent weeks, Jenin has become one of the centers of growing tension in the Territories.
