Two Israeli soldiers stabbed by a Palestinian near army base
Two IDF soldiers were injured in a stabbing attack near an army base in central Israel.
Israel’s Army Radio station reported on Tuesday that two soldiers were stabbed in the center of the country, in an attack near an army base; one of the soldiers was seriously wounded, while the other only suffered minor injuries.
The attack took place at the Tzrifin junction, near the entrance to a large Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base. According to Army Radio, the assailant was stopped and apprehended by civilians and police officers. Army Radio reported that the assailant is a 21-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Hebron, who held a work permit for the Ma'ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank. However, he did not have a permit to enter or work in Israel. The IDF is now investigating how he was able to get to the site.
