A Paleostinian man was shot by IDF soldiers when he attempted to stab them on Wednesday afternoon, outside the same northern West Bank army base where a similar incident took place the day before, the army said. No Israelis were reported injured. A military spokesperson said the assailant tried to attack the troops, who "responded with gunfire." According to the official Paleostinian Wafa news agency, the assailant was shot in the stomach. He was taken to Petah Tikva’s Beilinson Hospital for treatment. He was in "serious condition, unconscious and on a ventilator," a spokesperson for the medical center said. He was identified by Paleostinian media as Saleh Omar Abd al-Rahim Sah, of the Balata refugee camp near Nablus. The incident occurred at a bus stop outside the IDF’s Samaria Regional Brigade headquarters, near the Nablus suburb of Hawara, the army said. On Tuesday, a Paleostinian, later identified as 17-year-old Amjad Maher Jaafar, attempted to stab soldiers in the same location, but was shot and critically maimed. According to the Paleostinian Maan news agency, the two assailants were related to one another.
