Assailant flees after aborted attack near Nablus
The Israeli military says it is searching for a would-be assailant who tried to stab soldiers in the West Bank Monday morning.
The IDF says the attacker “charged at forces” at the Bitot Junction south of Nablus with a knife.
The suspect fled after warning shots were fired in the air and searches are now taking place, the army says.
The junction was the site of an attempted stabbing attack a day earlier. In that instance, forces shot and killed the assailant.
