A paratrooper was lightly injured in the stabbing attack in the northern West Bank earlier, according to the military.

The Palestinian attacker arrived near an army post located at the site of the formerly evacuated settlement of Ganim, where he stabbed a soldier of the Paratroopers Brigade.

Other soldiers returned fire, killing the Palestinian stabber, the army adds.
