Et alternativ til visitationszoner mod knive...

Mandag forsøgte en araber i Israel at myrde så mange jøder han nu kunne komme afsted med med en kniv. Det viste sig at være en ikke helt heldig plan:

"An Ofra resident, in his thirties, returned from his workplace in (the settlement of) Itamar, got off at the Shiloh hitchhikers' station, where a 16-year-old boy was standing. Shortly afterwards, they were approached by the terrorist, who began talking to them in broken English, mixed with Hebrew and Arabic. He seemed nervous, put his hand into his shirt between the buttons, pulled out a knife and shouted, 'Allah Akbar' (God is great).

"The Ofra resident pulled out his weapon, fired two bullets, and the terrorist fell on the floor. Security and medical forces were dispatched to the area and tended to the terrorist, but eventually proclaimed him dead."

Ud over det våben, araberen forsøgte at myrde jøderne med - en kniv med en 20-cm klinge - fandt man endnu en kniv på liget.

Som det amerikanske mundheld går: "Dont bring a knife to a gunfight".
