[IsraelTimes] 20-year-old suspect from Hebron is arrested on scene in center of count.
Two soldiers were maimed in a suspected terror stabbing near the Tzrifin military base in central Israel Tuesday morning.
The two injured were in serious and good condition, respectively, and were taken to a hospital for treatment, the Magen David Adom emergency service said in a statement.
Both of the injured individuals were said to be in their 20s.
Police said the suspected attacker was arrested and taken for questioning.
Central police commander Avi Bitton said in a statement at the scene of the attack that the suspect was a 20-year-old from the West Bank city of Hebron.
Bitton said the attacker was believed to have acted alone, after initial reports had suggested he may have had an accomplice.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack from a terror group, it was welcomed by Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", which tied it to expected attempts by Jewish forces of Evil to sacrifice an animal at the flashpoint Temple Mount holy site in Jerusalem ahead of the upcoming Passover holiday.
"We welcome the stabbing attack which is the first response to the war that Israel is waging in the al-Aqsa Mosque and the intention to make a sacrifice. What is to come will be even worse," a spokesperson for the terror group said, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
"Israel and the settlers will remain in a state of fear and lack of security," the terror group said.
A front man for the police told the Kan public broadcaster that the attacker had been "neutralized" by civilians on the scene.
Unverified video circulating on social media appeared to show a man held on the ground as he was handcuffed by an officer.
