The IDF says troops have launched raids in the West Bank towns of Beit Furik and Tubas, following stabbings carried out by Palestinian residents earlier.
In the first incident, a civilian was stabbed and seriously wounded near the settlement of Elon Moreh by two Palestinians from Beit Furik, who were then shot dead.
Later in the day, an IDF paratrooper was lightly injured in a stabbing attack in the northern West Bank. The attacker, from Tubas, was shot dead.
The military says troops raided Beit Furik and entered the home of one of the two attackers, as well as questioned several suspects in the area.
Soldiers also raided Tubas and entered the attacker’s home, the army adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
