Israeli Man Seriously Wounded in West Bank Stabbing After Fire Arson, Attackers Killed
On Thursday afternoon, a 51-year-old Israeli man was seriously injured in a stabbing attack near a farm in the West Bank's Samaria region. The incident occurred as Israeli civilians were attempting to extinguish a fire set by Palestinians from the village of Beit Furiq at the "Derech Avraham" farm near Elon Moreh. During the firefighting efforts, two Palestinian assailants stabbed the Israeli man, causing severe injuries.
Emergency medical teams from Magen David Adom (MDA), alongside an IDF medical unit, provided life-saving treatment at the scene, including stopping the bleeding, before airlifting the victim to a hospital for further care. The two attackers were neutralized at the scene. Following the attack, the IDF imposed a siege on Beit Furiq village.
The MDA received the emergency call at 12:17 PM, and emergency medic Israel Arbus described the rapid response to the stabbing. The IDF confirmed the sequence of events, noting the attack began when Israeli civilians responded to the arson. The situation remains tense as security forces maintain control over the area.
