Militants detained after trying to kidnap Israeli girls
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent

Palestinians tried to kidnap two Israeli girls at the Rechalim Junction, near the West Bank town of Nablus, on Thursday. Israel Defense Forces troops and police officers searched the area, and arrested the three would-be abductors.

The three armed Palestinians pulled up to a hitchhiking station near the settlement of Rechalim, where the two young women were standing. They exited the vehicle and tried to force one of the girls, Amona Shahar, into the car. She fought them off, suffered a light head wound, and fled. The other girl waiting at the hitchhiking station ran away and used her cellular phone to alert security forces.

A short while later, the commander of the IDF company that serves in the region noticed Shahar bleeding at the station and approached her. She relayed what had transpired, but did not know that her friend had fled, and it was feared that the latter had been kidnapped.

The men, who had a loaded gun, were caught adjacent to the Shilo junction. The company commander forced them to get out of the car.

The three, apparently residents of Jenin, were detained and transferred to police for questioning. They had were carrying a loaded gun.

One of the girls who had been waiting at the hitchhiking station, 14, told Israel Radio that she has been hitchhiking since she was in sixth grade.
