An Israeli civilian security guard reports that he was attacked by a Palestinian at the Bar-On industrial park near the West Bank settlement of Kedumim, the military says.

Medics say that the man was hit in the head with a hammer. His condition was not immediately clear.

The IDF says that the assailant also snatched the Israeli man’s handgun and fled the scene.

“Many IDF troops have begun a pursuit of the terrorist,” the IDF adds.
