Two IDF soldiers were lightly and moderately wounded, respectively, in a stabbing attack near Nablus on Wednesday evening, Hebrew news outlets reported, as Magen David paramedics arrived on the scene to administer first aid before evacuating the victims to the hospital.

According to initial reports, the attack – perpetrated by two Palestinians — occurred at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Har Bracha, south of Nablus. The terrorists stabbed the soldiers, grabbed their weapons and fled.

Israel security services are searching the area for the assailants, and have requested that residents remain inside their homes until further notice.
