The Palestinian terrorist who stabbed an Israeli man in the West Bank earlier and fled was shot dead by Israeli troops a short while ago, the military says.

The IDF says troops located the terrorist in a nearby village next to his vehicle.

After the Palestinian tried to stab the soldiers, a company commander of the 411th Artillery Battalion shot him dead, the army adds.

The Israeli man is in moderate-to-serious condition.
