An IDF reservist and Israeli civilian were wounded after being stabbed by a Palestinian assailant outside the Samaria Territorial Brigade base in the West Bank on Thursday afternoon.
The 32 year-old reservist was moderately wounded after being stabbed in his upper body and the 26 year-old Israeli woman was lightly wounded in her leg by shrapnel. Both victims were evacuated to Beilinson Hospital fully conscious, reported Magen David Adom.
According to initial reports in Israeli media, the Palestinian stabbed the reservist who had been standing at a bus stop near Maskit Junction between Har Bracha and Itamar in the Shomron. Soldiers and civilians in the area tried to overcome the assailant, with troops opening fire towards him as he fled the scene.
Security forces are in pursuit of the terrorist who was able to escape towards the nearby Palestinian town of Huwara south of Nablus.
The attack comes just days after Kim Levengrond-Yehezkel, 29, of Rosh Ha’ayin, and Ziv Hagbi, 35, from Rishon Lezion were shot to death by a 23 year-old 23 year-old Ashraf Walid Suleiman Na’alwa.
Na’alwa was also able to flee the scene armed with the weapon he used in the attack.
