The IDF says troops arrested the Palestinian suspect who stabbed and moderately wounded a reservist at a gas station near the West Bank’s Rantis checkpoint earlier.
According to the IDF, the assailant fled after the stabbing, and was detained a short while later by troops in the nearby town of Rantis.
The reservist was taken to hospital for further treatment.
Security camera footage from the gas station shows the reservist at the counter when the assailant runs up from behind and stabs him. The attacker then flees, with the soldier appearing to chase after him.
