The attack occurred when a Palestinian arrived at the settlement and stabbed one of the settlers in the neck, injuring him lightly. Soldiers and MDA paramedics were alerted to the scene.
Earlier four people were injured in a stabbing attack in the community of Kiryat Sefer, near the central city of Modiin.
An Arab handyman armed with a sharp tool began running wild and stabbing people on the fourth floor of an apartment building.
An initial IDF investigation revealed that at around 8 am the laborer stabbed and seriously injured Aryeh Deutch, an Israeli contractor who was on the roof of the building. He then went downstairs, encountered a woman at the entrance to one of the houses and stabbed her. She was lightly injured, and the attacker went on to stab her husband before fleeing the area.
As he was escaping he stabbed another man, before being shot by an MDA paramedic. He was evacuated to a hospital and taken into surgery.
