[IsraelTimes] No soldiers injured in attempted stabbing outside West Bank settlement of Adam, north of Jerusalem.
A Paleostinian assailant was rubbed out by Israeli troops as he attempted to stab them next to a pop-up military checkpoint north of Jerusalem on Tuesday, the army said.
The Paleostinian man approached the soldiers during a security check along the road between the Jewish settlement of Adam and the Paleostinian city of Qalandiya in the central West Bank. When he tried to stab them, the Israeli force "responded with gunfire," the army said.
The alleged assailant died of his wounds, the army added. The Paleostinian Health Ministry later identified him as Bahaa Samir al-Harbawi, 23, from al-Azariya, a village near Jerusalem.
No Israeli soldiers were reported injured in the attempt. |
