A member of Israeli security forces was lightly injured in a West Bank stabbing attack at the Tunnels Checkpoint, south of Jerusalem.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it is treating a 20-year-old woman in good condition after she was attacked. She has been taken to Hadassah Medical Center in the capital.
The stabber was shot and “neutralized” by security personnel and Border Police officers at the scene, police say.
