A 62-year-old Israeli woman was wounded in a suspected terror attack in Kfar Saba on Tuesday, as Israel marked its Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism.
The assailant, a masked 19-year-old Palestinian, stabbed the woman around 1 p.m. outside a shopping mall on Galgalei Haplada Street, according to Ynet. A civilian who works as a security guard shot and seriously wounded the attacker before police arrived on the scene and took him into custody, according to the report.
The victim was taken to Meir Medical Center in the city, according to the Magen David Adom rescue service. Police believe that attack was nationalistically motivated.
“When we arrived at the scene, we saw a woman aged about 62 who was fully conscious and lying on the road,” said MDA paramedic Elazar Habani, according to the report. “We performed a preliminary examination and saw that she was bleeding from her injuries. We performed life-saving medical care that included stopping the bleeding and evacuated her to hospital while continuing treatment and reported to the doctors who were waiting for us.”
France: Terrorism probe into car attack that hurt 3 police
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — A 29-year-old Frenchman who claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group is facing possible terrorism charges after he rammed his car into police, injuring three officers.
The incident occurred Monday in the northwestern Paris suburb of Colombes, while police were conducting an ID check. The driver slammed into police cars and police motorcycles, sending three officers to the hospital, the national counter-terrorism prosecution office said in a statement Tuesday.
The driver was arrested, and investigators found a knife in his car along with a letter pledging allegiance to IS and claiming to want to impose Islamic sharia law around the world, the statement said.
Counter-terrorism prosecutors decided to take over the investigation after the driver underwent a psychological examination Tuesday and was found to be of sound mind.
The man, who was not identified, is facing possible charges of links to criminal terrorism and attempted killing of officers in connection with a terrorist enterprise, the statement said.
More than 200 people were killed around France in Islamic State attacks in 2015 and 2016, and police and soldiers have been repeatedly targeted by violent extremists.
Police have stepped up street controls since France imposed nationwide confinement measures last month to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

112 International
A total of 40 civilians deceased in a terrorist act in Afrin, Syria on April 28. That included eleven children. Another 47 people were injured in what the Syrian government described as the terrorist attack. Local outlet AA reported this, quoting the press office of Syrian Defense Ministry.
The authority claimed that the attack was conducted by PKK/YPG terrorist organization, as a gas tank exploded at the local food market.
"The anti-humanitarian PKK/YPG has once again targeted innocent peaceful residents of Afrin. The terrorists loaded a fuel tank with explosives. 40 innocent civilians died (...)", the Defense Ministry reported.
Al-Jezeera -
Similar explosions in areas controlled by Turkey-backed opposition fighters have killed many people in recent months, attacks that Ankara blames on Kurdish fighters.
Turkey and allied Syrian opposition fighters took control of Afrin in a military operation in 2018.
Ankara supports the Syrian opposition in the war against President Bashar al-Assad, but has worked closely with his ally, Russia, to secure and monitor local ceasefires.
Sydney man charged after allegedly fighting for
al-Qaida-linked Syrian terrorist group
..
Police allege the 44-year-old travelled to Syria in 2012 and 2013
to fight ‘for months at a time’
Australian Associated Press
The 44-year-old was due to face Parramatta bail court on Saturday after tactical police arrested him in a car park in Mount Lewis on Friday.
He faces a dozen charges including two counts of engaging in hostile activity in a foreign state and seven counts of publishing false or misleading material to obtain property.
Police allege the man travelled to Syria in 2012 and 2013 to fight “for months at a time” with the terrorist organisation Jabhat Fatah al-Sham.
The Syria-based Sunni Islamist extremist group, previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra and the Al-Nusra Front, adheres to a violent extremist ideology and retains links to al-Qaida, according to the Australian National Security website.
The Sydney man also faces fraud charges related to alleged involvement in the supply and purchase of illicit tobacco, as well as actual and attempted credit card fraud.
He was on Friday taken to Liverpool hospital for treatment to minor injuries sustained during the arrest before being returned to Bankstown police station.
Palestinian teacher posts lesson hailing terrorist
in 1978 attack that killed 38
Hebron school shares video glorifying Dalal Mughrabi on its Facebook page, encouraging students to watch it as part of their online curriculum at home amid pandemic

An Arabic-language teacher at a Palestinian school in Hebron posted a grammar lesson for students to review at home during the coronavirus pandemic that glorifies the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre that killed 38 Israeli civilians, along with a female terrorist who took part in the attack.
Nasser al-Rajabi uploaded the reading comprehension and grammar lesson to YouTube on February 28, and it was twice shared on his Wasyah Al-Rasoul elementary school for boys’ Facebook page early last month. The video has since racked up over 11,000 views.
The lesson is based on a 2019 Palestinian Authority Arabic-language textbook for fifth graders, according to an Israeli watchdog that analyzes Palestinian textbooks, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se).
In the 1978 attack, several Fatah terrorists landed on a beach near Tel Aviv, hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Road and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them children, and wounded over 70.
In the lesson, al-Rajabi includes a graphic of one of the architects of the terror attack, Dalal Mughrabi, standing in the hijacked bus, pointing a rifle at the Israeli passengers inside and what appears to be a murdered woman on the bus floor next to a Palestinian flag. Below the image is a sentence taken from the textbook that reads, “She took the flag of Palestine out of her bag, kissed it and then hung it inside the bus.”
In a separate corresponding Q&A video on the lesson, al-Rajabi tells students that the attack was carried out “to avenge the martyrs of the Deir Yassin Massacre, and also to remind the world of this massacre.”
This was a reference to an attack that took place in 1948 when Jewish Irgun and Lehi groups entered Deir Yassin just outside Jerusalem and, in house-to-house fighting, killed many of the village’s residents, including women and children. The death toll is disputed: while the Israeli fighters said they had killed some 254, other counts put that figure as low as 107.
“The suicide operation … caused the deaths of many of the occupation’s [Israel’s] soldiers,” al-Rajabi adds during the Q&A session, even though only one Israeli soldier was killed in Coastal Road Massacre.
A spokesman for the PA’s education ministry said he was not familiar with the lesson but declined to comment further.
IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Sheff said the Hebron teacher’s video demonstrates that “even when studying at home, Palestinian children cannot escape the hate. The violence and incitement of the official Palestinian curriculum is being neatly migrated online by official and unofficial educational initiatives and fed into their living rooms.”
Why is this not 'crimes against humanity'? It certainly would be if the Israelis were doing it?
