An Israeli man, around 20 years old, was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack at a West Bank farming outpost on Monday morning, and his Palestinian assailant was shot dead by troops after he allegedly tried to stab them after a successful manhunt.
The Israeli man was stabbed at the Maoz Yehuda settlement farm near the village of Usarin in the northern West Bank. He suffered wounds to his chest, back, and shoulders, according to medics.
The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service said the Palestinian terrorist arrived at the scene in a vehicle, and that the Israeli came over to speak with him; then, it said, the assailant stabbed the Israeli multiple times, “until his knife broke.”
From Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, the Israeli affirmed this account, saying the assailant asked him where his gun was before stabbing him. The victim was in moderate-to-serious condition as of late Monday morning.
The Palestinian assailant fled the scene. A video showed his van speeding away. During the escape, the attacker’s cell phone fell to the ground and was collected by investigators.
