A Palestinian from the West Bank city of Jenin has been detained for allegedly attacking an Israeli man in the northern community of Gan Ner yesterday, police and the Shin Bet say.
The suspect hit the Israeli man in his 60s with a hoe in the victim’s backyard, lightly wounding him, according to medics.
Initially, it was suspected that the attacker was another Israeli, but after further investigation, police said that he was a West Bank Palestinian.
The 25-year-old assailant was captured this morning while hiding in a horse stable in a nearby community.
Gan Ner is located close to the West Bank security barrier and not far from Jenin.
