| 2008-09-16 |
| A Palestinian terrorist on Monday stabbed an Israel Defense Forces soldier at the Almog junction in the southern West Bank, near the Dead Sea, and fled. The soldier, who sustained moderate wounds, was taken to hospital for medical attention. An initial investigation into the incident revealed that in addition to stabbing him, the Palestinian also snatched the soldier's weapon before fleeing. A team of detectives from the Samaria and Judea District police force spotted the wounded soldier at a bus station, bleeding profusely. The soldier told the detectives that a man had stabbed him and fled toward the bathroom of a nearby gas station. The detectives rushed to the gas station, found the assailant and successfully subdued him. The perpetrator, a Ramallah resident, told the detectives that he was working with another Palestinian. The two had followed the victim into the gas station bathroom, where he had stabbed him. Police forces began combing the area in search of the second assailant, who managed to flee the scene. The Palestinian man was arrested and taken to the Samaria and Judea District police station for questioning. |
