A terrorist reportedly stabbed a soldier from the IDF's Battalion 890 in the leg at a military post in Samaria; fellow soldiers shot and killed the assailant, according to new details on the attack.
At 15:57 Jerusalem, a security-affiliated source provided updated details on the stabbing attack at a Samaria military post, identifying the victim as a soldier from the IDF's Battalion 890 who was stabbed in the leg. This follows earlier reports from The Zioneer at 15:44 and 15:51 Jerusalem that initially described a soldier lightly wounded, then specified a paratrooper stabbed at the post, and later that two paratroopers from the same battalion killed the assailant.
The Zioneer first reported at 15:44 Jerusalem that an IDF soldier was lightly wounded. Minutes later, at 15:44 Jerusalem, a journalist reported that a paratrooper was stabbed at a military post and the assailant was killed by comrades. At 15:51 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that two paratroopers from Battalion 890 killed the terrorist who had stabbed a person at the post. Source quality evolved from a single report to multiple corroborating reports.
As The Zioneer reported at 15:56 Jerusalem, a separate stabbing attack near the settlement of Ganim in Samaria left an Israeli moderately wounded and the assailant killed by paratroopers from Battalion 890, highlighting a pattern of attacks in the area today.
The condition of the wounded soldier has not been disclosed, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
