An Israeli carrying a knife was shot and seriously injured at a gas station near the West Bank’s Kedumim after being suspected of being an assailant attempting to carry out an attack.

He was rushed to a hospital. Reports have variously described him as being a teen or in his early 20s.

The incident is being investigated.

According to a statement from the military, “an IDF soldier and an Israeli civilian opened fire following suspicion of an attempted stabbing against IDF forces at the Kedumim gas station. An initial inquiry indicates that the individual was an Israeli civilian who approached IDF forces while carrying a knife.”
