| [Ynet] Soldier found outside mall in the northern city of Arad with stab wounds; paramedics declare him dead on scene; police says murder was likely nationalistically-motivated; search ongoing for suspects. A soldier who was waiting for the bus was stabbed to death outside the mall in Arad on Thursday night in what police said was likely a nationalistically-motivated murder. The soldier, in his 20s, tried to call for help after having been fatally stabbed, collapsing on top of a car. "I was driving and all of a sudden a soldier ran to me, blocking my car in the middle of a traffic circle," the driver said. "I didn't understand what was happening. I noticed he started throwing up. I was sure he was drunk. I stopped, and all of a sudden I saw he was throwing up blood on my car. I stopped and called for help." "He was conscious and tried to say something but couldn't," the driver continued. "We tried to help him, he fell to the ground. We called Magen David Adom and put a towel on him." Paramedics who arrived on the scene found the soldier unconscious and without a pulse. After resuscitation attempts failed, he was declared dead. Police were searching the area for suspects, setting up roadblocks on route 31 and in the entrance to the city. A helicopter was also scrambled to help search. Shin Bet and IDF forces were also deployed to help police in search for the perpetrators. Among other things, security forces are trying to ascertain whether the soldier's weapon was stolen. An eye witness recounted the incident, saying "Someone came up to the soldier from behind and stabbed him. I saw him lying down (on the ground). My friend called me over when it happened, he tried to stop the bleeding with a towel."
