The all-female cell planned shooting attack on Israeli checkpoint
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers on Saturday arrested three Palestinian women carrying a firearm and notes stating they wished to die in the perpetration of a terrorist attack against Israelis.
The three would-be terrorists were detained near a checkpoint near the Israeli community of Alfei Menashe in the West Bank.
They were spotted driving toward the checkpoint — where they apparently intended to gun down Israeli soldiers — and detained before they could reach their destination.
They were armed with an improvised submachine gun known colloquially as "Carlo."
The Palestinians were taken for interrogation by Israel's security services, a military spokesperson said.
