IDF searches for suspect after reported stabbing attempt in West Bank

[IsraelTimes] Israel Defense Forces troops launched a manhunt after an Israeli man reported that someone tried to stab him at a northern West Bank junction on Wednesday morning, the military said.

The Israeli citizen said he was attacked at the Yitzhar Junction south of Nablus.

"IDF troops are searching for the suspect," the military added.

Surveillance camera footage of the incident was shared on social media, showing the moment that the Paleostinian man, holding an unidentified object in his hand, tried to stab the Israeli man, Binyamin Cohen from the Beit El settlement.

Cohen could be seen fighting back, kicking the man and screaming, before running away and calling the police.

According to Paleostinian media, Israeli forces closed off the entrances to Paleostinian villages in the area as they search for the suspected assailant.

The incident came amid heightened tensions in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers and Paleostinians have clashed repeatedly in recent weeks.
