Palestinian stabs and seriously wounds soldier near Ramallah
A Palestinian stabbed a soldier and hit him in the head with a stone, seriously injuring him, as he stood by an army post on the outskirts of the Beit El settlement.
The post is located just outside of the back entrance to Ramallah where the army has been operating this week in search of terrorists, with links to Hamas, who have been behind two of the main attacks in the West Bank this week.
The soldiers was transferred to a Jerusalem hospital and is in serous condition.
The army said that the soldier and the Palestinian assailant who he struggled with, hit the solider with the stone from a short distance before fleeing the scene.
Tensions are high in the area in the aftermath of the Thursday morning attack in which two soldiers were killed and another solider and a civilian were injured.
A Palestinian shot at them while they stood at a bus stop outside the Givat Asaf outpost, a short distance away from Beit El.
