Netanel Yaakov, the Israeli civilian wounded in Monday's stabbing attack in Samaria, was discharged from hospital on Wednesday morning, The Zioneer reports. His condition had improved sufficiently for release, marking a positive step in his recovery after the attack that occurred on Monday evening.
The attack unfolded on Monday, September 7, when a terrorist stabbed Yaakov near the Samaria community of Korsa. Initial reports from Channel 14 described the victim as moderately-seriously wounded. The terrorist fled the scene, prompting an IDF manhunt. Troops tracked the assailant to the village of Kfar Idna, where a company commander from Battalion 411 shot and killed him when he attempted to stab the soldiers, according to an IDF statement. The terrorist was later identified by Abu Ali Express as Muhammad Faiz from the village of Kublan. Yaakov recounted from his hospital bed how he fought off the attacker with punches, causing the knife to break, and sustained injuries to his head, neck, and hand. His parents reported his condition as good and stable.
The Zioneer has previously reported on victims of terror attacks being discharged from hospitals as their conditions improve, reflecting the broader pattern of medical care for those wounded in such incidents.
The identity of the assailant has not been officially confirmed by Israeli authorities, and no organizational affiliation has been reported. The exact location of the attack remains described differently in various reports.
