Volunteer reservist Dolly Rozolio, a mother from Kfar Saba who serves at the roadblock at Kalandiya south of Ramallah, thwarted an attempt by a woman to stab a soldier on Sunday afternoon.

"Rozolio spotted the woman, whose face was covered with a scarf, taking a kitchen knife out of her bag as she approached the roadblock," Lt.-Col. Ronen Schviki, who commands Battalion 300, responsible for the area between Ramallah and Hizme, told The Jerusalem Post. "Rozolio yelled, 'Knife, knife,' to the other soldiers, and they immediately aimed their weapons at the woman, who dropped the knife."

He said there has been a sharp escalation in violence in the area under his jurisdiction in the past two weeks and his soldiers recently thwarted four attempted attacks.

The woman, from a well-to-do family in Nablus, was handed over to police for questioning, he said.
"To me, the fact that not one shot was fired is a success. It shows that Rozolio acted in a cool and collected way and I commended her for her actions," he said. "If shots had been fired, it could have escalated an already tense situation."
