The Israel Defense Forces says a stabbing that occurred this morning in the Palestinian town of Hizme was apparently a terror attack.

According to the IDF, an Israeli man in his 40s entered a store in the West Bank town and was stabbed. He was taken in moderate condition to a Jerusalem hospital after arriving at a nearby checkpoint.

It was the second knifing in Hizme in the past 24 hours, after an Israeli man was hurt in a similar stabbing yesterday afternoon.

Troops continue to search the area, the military says.
