Young Man Stabbed in West Bank, Suspect Flees
A stabbing attack occurred Sunday morning near Rehavam in the West Bank, leaving a 20-year-old man moderately to severely wounded. Security forces suspect the attacker arrived by car at the Ma'oz Yehuda farm, spoke with a resident who approached him, and then stabbed him multiple times in the arm and upper body until the knife broke before fleeing the scene.
Security forces were deployed to the area and launched a manhunt for the suspect. All roads leading to and from the city of Ariel were blocked to traffic in all directions as part of the search.
Paramedics from Magen David Adom provided initial medical treatment to the victim at the scene. "When we arrived, we saw a young man, about 20 years old, fully conscious, with several stab wounds on his body," said paramedic Aviel Mamlia. "We provided him with initial medical care together with IDF medical personnel, and he was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva in moderate to severe condition."
