Palestinians Stab Israeli Soldier, Policeman


(Times of Israel) An Israeli border policeman was stabbed in the back by a Palestinian man near the West Bank village of Hawara on Saturday, a Border Police spokesman said.

The attacker was shot and wounded. The attack began when the assailant, Nasim Yusef Gomhur, 19, from Beit 'Anan in the Ramallah area, asked for some water, and when the soldier turned to get some, Gomhur lunged. On Friday evening, a gas station was set alight on Route 60, near Eli in the West Bank.
