The IDF says troops are operating at the home of a Palestinian terrorist who stabbed an Israeli man in the West Bank earlier today.
The Palestinian attacked a 24-year-old Israeli who had stopped next to the village of al-Auja in the Jordan Valley for shopping, moderately injuring him, before fleeing the scene.
“At this time, IDF troops are operating in the area of his residence to locate the terrorist and interrogate his family members,” the army says.
