IDF closes off West Bank Palestinian village after stabbing attack

The IDF has completely closed off the West Bank Palestinian village of Beit Ur al-Tahta, barring access with the exception of “humanitarian cases,” an IDF spokesperson says, following a stabbing attack in the settlement of Beit Horon.

Ibrahim Al’an, 23, from Beit Ur al-Tahta, and Hassin Abu Gush, 17, from the Qalandiya refugee camp near Jerusalem, were named by police as the two terrorists who stabbed and wounded two Israeli women in the attack. One of the two women was hospitalized in critical condition; the second was seriously hurt.

The two terrorists were shot and killed following the attack.
