US envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt condemns the “brutal” attacks in the northern West Bank earlier today in which an Israeli solider was killed and two others seriously injured.
In posts to Twitter, Greenblatt says the US “condemn[s] today’s brutal attack by a Palestinian terrorist who murdered at least 1 Israeli & injured others near Ariel.”
In a follow up post, Greenblatt says “disgustingly, but not surprisingly, Hamas & Palestinian Islamic Jihad welcomed the attack & no doubt the Palestinian Authority will reward the terrorist under its pay for slay policy.”

Israeli security forces were searching the Salfit area in the northern West Bank for the gunman, who fled after carrying out the deadly stabbing and shooting attack near the Ariel Junction.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
