Attempted knife attack on IDF soldiers threatened, attacker neutralized
The would-be attacker ran at soldiers alongside the entrance to the Shomron Regional Brigade; the soldiers shot him, avoiding injury to themselves and seriously injuring the attacker.
On Friday night, an attacker attempted to stab IDF soldiers outside the Shomron Regional Brigade. The soldiers prevented the attack by shooting the perpetrator, and no IDF injuries were reported.
The attacker arrived riding a bicycle. He approached the guard post, dismounted his bike, and rushed at the Nahal soldiers present. They shot him and succeeded in neutralizing the threat.
The IDF immediately provided first aid to the injured attacker. They declared his condition to be serious before evacuating him to the Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tikva.
This evacuation is despite the three-day closure in effect on the West Bank following the murderous attack on Wednesday night in Tel Aviv.
