Israeli troops early Monday thwarted an attempted stabbing during a nighttime raid near a Palestinian city in the Jordan Valley.
According to the IDF, the suspect tried to stab one of the soldiers who had entered the city of Tobas to arrest a wanted individual.
The soldier pushed away the suspect and an IDF commander who was at the scene fired at the assailant and neutralized him. The soldier is said to have been lightly wounded in the hand and treated on the spot.
