An Israeli man in his 60s was attacked by another Israeli in the northern community of Gan Ner, close to the West Bank security barrier, medics and military sources say.
The suspect hit the 62-year-old with a hoe in the victim’s backyard before fleeing the scene.
IDF troops and police officers are searching the area. A military source says the circumstances of the incident are not immediately clear.
