The Israel Defense Forces says a female assailant has been “neutralized” after carrying out a stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion junction in the West Bank.

According to the Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service, a man in his 40s is being treated in light-to-moderate condition after being stabbed by the Palestinian woman.

He is being taken by MDA to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem.

The IDF says it will provide further details later.
