The Jerusalem Post reports:
An attempted combined stabbing and ramming attack was thwarted by the IDF outside the town of Hizma near Jerusalem on Wednesday, the army said in a statement.A Palestinian woman who arrived at the scene attempted to run over soldiers who were securing engineering work and then exited her car and tried to stab the soldiers. The terrorist was shot and killed by the soldiers, and one soldier was lightly injured and treated at the scene.The terrorist was identified as Mai Afanah, 29, from Abu Dis, by Palestinian media.
While Times of Israel reports that Afanah posted on Facebook hours before the attack that “I don’t have much time left in life.” I couldn't find that in her page.
What I did find was someone who was a big fan of terrorists.
She wrote this tribute to DFLP terrorist Muhammad Khalaf in 2017:
In 2019, she praised Omar Abu Laila, who fatally stabbed Sgt. Gal Keidan and murdered Rabbi Achiad Ettinger.
In February, she praised Fatah terrorist and explosive belt expert Ahmed Sanaqrah:
Last month, she changed her profile photo to one that showed a dead Muslim woman, that she implied was from Gaza but was in fact from Peshawar last year.
In her text, she wrote that "we will give birth to children even if we know that they will be martyrs in the future."
Similarly in January she wrote that people shouldn't be confused by how she appears, she is really a lioness underneath.
Even now, Palestinian media is claiming that Afanah had made a wrong turn and was killed for no reason. But it is pretty clear that Afanah intended to become a martyr.
(Some media reports that she was married and had a daughter. It is very strange that her Facebook has no photos of her husband and daughter.)
