Stabbing attack in West Bank, near Alfei Menashe

Magen David Adom said on Sunday it had received reports of a stabbing attack near the West Bank settlement of Alfei Menashe.

Security forces were converging on the area.

An Israeli man in his 50s was reportedly in a moderate to serious condition.

The attack came after earlier in the day Palestinians carried out two other attacks at West Bank settlements.

A Palestinian woman stabbed a security guard at the entrance to Betar Illit, lightly wounding a security guard. The attacker was identified as a Palestinian woman from Bethlehem, 22-year-old Halawa Alian. The IDF said she was treated by medics who then evacuated her to hospital.

That attack came less than two hours after a Palestinian car-ramming attack in the northern West Bank that left two Israelis seriously injured and two others lightly injured.
