A 48-year-old Jewish Israeli man was moderately hurt after allegedly being stabbed in the Palestinian town of Hizme on Wednesday afternoon, police and medics said.
Police said the man, a resident of Jerusalem, arrived at a nearby checkpoint and claimed he was stabbed while in a store in the area.
The background of the incident was not immediately clear, police said, meaning they weren’t ruling out the possibility the stabbing was a terror attack.
It added that an investigation has been launched.
The man was taken by medics to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
