An Israeli man who was stabbed near the Palestinian village of al-Auja is in stable condition and fully conscious, Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem says.

The man, 24, suffered moderate injuries and is being treated in the emergency department.

Footage of the attack showed an assailant jumping him from behind and repeatedly stabbing him as he returned to his car after visiting a shop on the side of a West Bank highway.

A manhunt for the assailant is underway.
