| "Mostly peaceful Palestinian yout." MSM/SJW | Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian hard boy who stabbed and lightly injured an Israeli civilian on Sunday at a petrol station in the occupied West Bank, authorities said.
"In a stabbing attack at a gas station... between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, one civilian was wounded and a suspect shot and wounded by soldiers," an army statement said.
Police said that the alleged assailant, a Palestinian from the nearby village of Khirbet Al Misbah, died of a leg wound shortly after the attack.
They said in a statement that the stabbing victim, a Jewish Israeli, was wounded in the shoulder. The petrol station where the incident took place is on the busy highway 443, southwest of Ramallah, a major artery between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which cuts through the West Bank for several kilometres.
Public radio said the Israeli was stabbed while filling his car.
In a later statement the army said it believed another three assailants may have been involved in the attack and troops were scouring the area. |
