A Palestinian terror suspect who was detained at an army base in the Jordan Valley managed to free himself from restraints and attack a soldier, the military says.
The IDF says the servicewoman was lightly injured, and another female soldier then opened fire on the suspect and “neutralized him.”
The wounded soldier was taken to a hospital for further treatment. The IDF does not detail the condition of the suspect.
