See how Palestinian woman tried to stab Israeli guard (photos)

Calling her Black Amina may sound offensive because women are not known for violence. Imagine this how a Palestinian woman lunged at an Israeli security guard with a knife in broad daylight. The guard was standing at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Beitar Illit, six miles south of Jerusalem, when the woman casually strolled up to him.

The woman, who was wearing a black abaya and hijab, was asked for her identification to enter the predominately Jewish city. As the guard started flicking through her papers, the Palestinian woman reached for a knife from inside her bag and tried to stab him.

The woman, named locally as 22-year-old Hilwa Salim Darwish, was shot in the street and taken to Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Karem.

ISIS Releases 37 Kidnapped Syrian Christian

Following negotiations on the international scene, the dreaded ISIS has set free more than 200 captives including 37 Syrian christians.

"The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria on Saturday released 37 Syrian Christians, most of them women, who were among more than 200 people kidnapped more than eight months ago, an NGO said.

The Assyrian Monitor for Human Rights said the group of freed Assyrian Christians included 27 women and 10 men, most of them elderly. They arrived on Saturday morning in the town of Tal Tamr in the Khabur region of Hasakeh province in northeastern Syria, the group said.

The releases were confirmed by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, which said most of those freed were from other towns elsewhere in the Khabur region.

The former hostages were among a group of 220 Assyrians captured by ISIS when they overran parts of the Khabur region in February. Since then, a trickle of the prisoners have been released, with between 140 and 150 believed to still be held by ISIS.

The Assyrian Monitor said the releases were the result of negotiations carried out by the church, but other reports suggest IS has been paid to free the hostages.

Assyrians numbered about 30,000 among Syria's 1.2 million Christians before the country's conflict began. They lived mostly in 35 villages in Hasakeh.
In February, ISIS overran many of the villages, but Kurdish forces later expelled them.

ISIS has captured hundreds of hostages, including Christians from different sects, in territory it controls in Syria and Iraq.

Ebola virus transmission stopped in Sierra Leone--WHO

Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the Ebola virus transmission has been stopped in Sierra Leone. 42 days, that is two Ebola virus incubation cycles, have now passed since the last person confirmed to have Ebola virus disease had a second negative blood test.

According to WHO Representative in Sierra Leone, Dr Anders Nordström, "Since Sierra Leone recorded the first Ebola case in May 2014, a total number of 8,704 people were infected and 3,589 have died, 221 of the healthcare workers, all of whom are remembered today.

The country now enters a 90-day period of enhanced surveillance which will run until 5 February 2016 and WHO will continue to support Sierra Leone during this period. This new phase is critical for ensuring early detection of any possible new cases of Ebola virus disease.
