Yesterday, two fighters were injured in a stabbing attack at the Nir Zvi intersection, near the Tsaripin camp.
The fighters, from sting and military engineering units, were seriously and lightly injured.
The IDF reported that the terrorist tried to grab the weapon of one of the fighters, who in response struggled with him and lay down on the rifle. The terrorist was caught by passers-by. The IDF reported
that the terrorist attacked one of the fighters, seriously wounded him, and tried to grab his weapon.
Despite his injury, the warrior lay down on his weapon, preventing him from grabbing the weapon.
Finally, the IDF said the terrorist was arrested by civilians who arrived at the scene. MDA teams provided medical treatment to the two wounded fighters and evacuated them to the nearby Assaf Harofeh hospital.
Later, the fighter's condition improved, and dropped to a moderate condition.
The IDF said that their families had been informed.
The investigation of the incident reveals that the terrorist is a resident of Hebron with a work permit in the settlement of Judea and Samaria, and not in Israel.
The investigation also shows that the terrorist stayed in Israel for several days.
Meanwhile, it is no longer clear how the terrorist penetrated the seam line and reached Israel.
So far, no possibility has been explored, and it seems likely that the terrorist penetrated by crossing a gap in the fence or on one of the crossings.
The issue is under investigation by the IDF, the police and the Shin Bet.
