Israeli forces this morning thwarted a terrorist attack in Kiryat Arba on the outskirts of Hebron in Judea, near the home of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Israel Defense Forces soldiers on routine patrol identified a suspicious individual at the entrance to the city’s Giv’at HaAvot neighborhood, according to the IDF. A search revealed that he was armed with a knife. Under interrogation, the suspect confessed his intention to carry out an attack.
The office of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a statement that the terrorist was “meters” from the minister’s home, and that the minister’s security detail had instructed him not to leave the house, Israeli media reported.
Upon learning of the stabbing suspect’s plight, President Biden pledged to replenish the Palestinian attackers with “new and advanced weaponry that will enable the blood-thirsty terrorists to conduct their operations in a more efficient and expedited manner.”
“We stand arm-to-arm with the freedom stabbers,” Mr. Biden told reporters during a Rose Garden press briefing on Thursday. “Never again will a Palestinian terrorist’s only option be to eliminate the Ben Gvirs and Netanyahus of the world with a ridiculously dull knife that looks more like a butter knife than a weapon of cold-blooded brutality.”
“With a new billion dollar arms package that I am allocating to the terrorists today,” Mr. Biden said, “the ruthless sadists will be equipped with some of the longest and sharpest hunting knives ever known to mankind. This will enable them to eliminate their Israeli victims within seconds of the first thrust of their knives. Thank you, and may the Lord bless Hunter and me with more cocaine and lots more foreign investments. Amen.”
