A soldier serving in reserve duty was lightly wounded Tuesday morning in a stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank. The Palestinian assailant was shot and killed at the scene.

At about 8:50 a.m. first-responders received a call saying a man aged 34 had been stabbed. Magen David Adom ambulance services arrived at the site and treated the man before evacuating him to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
