Stabbing at Gush Etzion junction, one injured
December 1, 2015A Palestinian Arab terrorist stabbed an Israeli at Gush Etzion Junction on Tuesday, shortly after 7:50 am local time.
Special Forces at the site saw a Palestinian Arab man wielding a knife and running toward commuters at one of the many bus stops at the junction, they said in the minutes after the attack.
Security forces eliminated the terrorist at the scene before he was able to stab any civilians.
One Israeli, a 40 year-old man, was injured during the attack, and is suffering from light injuries to his hand. He has been transferred to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem for treatment.
Initial reports indicate he was hit by gunfire used to neutralize the terrorist, not from the terror attack itself.
The Gush Etzion junction has been closed to traffic until further notice.
