The IDF confirms the stabber who attempted to attack troops outside Netiv Ha’asara earlier today is a Canadian citizen.
According to the military, the suspect arrived at the entrance to the Gaza border community by car, got out, and threatened security forces with a knife.
The troops returned fire, killing the assailant.
“We emphasize that the suspect is a foreign citizen who arrived at the scene from Israel and not from the Gaza Strip,” the IDF adds.
