ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING AND THEFT FOILED

An Arab tried to steal a car with a mother and 2 daughters inside, but the mom stopped him:

An Israeli woman managed to rescue herself and her young daughter on Thursday after a Palestinian Authority thief took the family car with the two inside. The incident took place in Kfar Hizme, north of Jerusalem.

A Jewish family stopped at a gas station near the village, and the father stepped out of his car to begin filling the tank. Suddenly, a PA Arab man ran to the vehicle, jumped into the driver's seat, and drove off, taking a woman and her baby daughter with him.

The woman began fighting the thief. During the struggle, she was stabbed in the hand. However, she succeeded in causing him to lose control of the car. The thief inadvertently crashed into the guard rail, and ran from the scene before rescue workers arrived.

The woman was treated for light wounds. Her daughter was unhurt.

We have to hope now that he'll get a very harsh sentence for kidnapping, which is worse than car theft.
