The Zioneer reports that the manhunt continues for a suspect who escaped after his knife broke during a stabbing attack. The incident is being treated as terrorism.
The Zioneer reports that the manhunt for the suspect in Monday morning's stabbing attack in Samaria continues, after the suspect managed to escape when his knife broke during the assault. Security forces are actively searching the area near the Israeli farm where the attack took place.
The attack was first reported by The Zioneer at 10:47 Jerusalem time Monday, when initial reports indicated that a Palestinian suspect had arrived at an Israeli farm near the village of Asarin in Samaria, stabbed a Jewish man multiple times, and fled. In subsequent reports, the farm was described as being near the village of Kablan. The IDF immediately launched a manhunt. The Zioneer now reports that the suspect's knife broke during the attack, enabling his escape.
The incident is being treated as a terrorist attack, following weeks of violent provocations from the nearby village, according to reports received by The Zioneer. This comes as The Zioneer previously reported on a separate stabbing incident in Lod, which police determined to be criminal in nature and not terrorism.
The victim's condition and the suspect's identity remain unclear at this time.
