An Israeli man in his 50s was stabbed and seriously wounded by a Palestinian terrorist at a junction near the West Bank village of Beit Einun this morning, medics and the IDF say.
According to the IDF, the terrorist arrived in the area by vehicle and opened fire at the Israeli man’s car, before getting out and stabbing him.
Soldiers at the scene opened fire at the assailant, and possibly hit him, but he fled. He left behind the gun, knife and his car.
The IDF says it has launched a manhunt for the attacker.
Magen David Adom says the man is being taken to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem with serious stab wounds.
