| [IsraelTimes] Israeli man, around 20 years old, in moderate-to-serious condition after incident at Maoz Yehuda outpost; Katz threatens ‘full-scale war’ against PA if it starts Oct. 7-style attack An Israeli man, around 20 years old, was seriously maimed in a stabbing attack at a West Bank farming outpost on Monday morning, and his Paleostinian assailant was rubbed out by troops after he allegedly tried to stab them after a successful manhunt. The Israeli man was stabbed at the Maoz Yehuda settlement farm near the village of Usarin in the northern West Bank. He suffered wounds to his chest, back, and shoulders, according to medics. The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service said the Paleostinian terrorist arrived at the scene in a vehicle, and that the Israeli came over to speak with him; then, it said, the assailant stabbed the Israeli multiple times, "until his knife broke." From Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, the Israeli affirmed this account, saying the assailant asked him where his gun was before stabbing him. The victim was in moderate-to-serious condition as of late Monday morning. The Paleostinian assailant expeditiously departed at a goodly pace. A video showed his van speeding away. During the escape, the attacker’s cell phone fell to the ground and was collected by Sherlocks. After a manhunt, soldiers found the assailant near the village of Idhna. He tried to stab the soldiers and was then rubbed out by a company commander of the 411th Artillery Battalion, the army said. Paleostinian media reported that the terrorist was 34-year-old Mohammed Mohsen. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the soldiers who hunted down the attacker, saying: "No terrorist has a safe haven." "We will continue to eliminate terrorists, pursue those who send them, and destroy the terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria," Netanyahu vowed, using biblical terminology for the West Bank. "Anyone who tries to threaten Israel and its citizens will pay a heavy price," he said. Yossi Dagan, chair of the Samaria Regional Council, called the attack "very severe," and called for "a broad military operation, to go house to house gathering up weapons and crushing terrorist infrastructure." Defense Minister Israel Katz said: "Our policy in Judea and Samaria is clear: To fight Paleostinian terrorism with strength, to develop and strengthen Jewish settlement, and to preserve security." "Terrorism in Judea and Samaria is at its lowest point in decades," he added, "and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that terrorism does not return to raise its head again." Separately, a Palestinian man was reportedly killed after a clash between residents of a West Bank village, settlers, and IDF troops on Sunday night. According to the Ynet news site, residents of Haje, east of Qalqilya, threw rocks at a drone that Israeli settlers had flown above the village. When the settlers entered the village to collect the drone, they clashed with the residents, the report said. The IDF said troops were dispatched following reports of a “confrontation” between Palestinian residents and settlers. “The troops acted to disperse the confrontation and to take the Israeli civilians out of the village,” the army said. “Later, a violent disturbance developed, including stone-throwing at the forces by Palestinian rioters,” the IDF said, adding that the troops carried out a “suspect arrest procedure” that included “firing into the air and then firing at key instigators.” Omar Muhammad Tubasi, 20, was shot dead in the clashes, according to the official Palestinian Authority Wafa news outlet, which cited the PA’s Health Ministry. The army said the incident was under further investigation. |
