A terrorist attack was foiled in the Binyamin district of western Samaria Monday morning, in the community of Havat Sadeh Efraim.

During the abortive stabbing attack, a female terrorist brandishing a knife broke into a home in Havat Sadeh Efraim and attempted to stab members of the family living there.
