Israeli man seriously wounded in West Bank stabbing
A 51-year-old Israeli man was seriously wounded in a stabbing while helping to extinguish a fire near Itamar in the West Bank, with two Palestinian attackers killed at the scene. The assault occurred around 12:15 p.m. as civilians gathered to contain the blaze near Beit Furik and the Derech Avraham farm, and it prompted security forces to impose a closure on Beit Furik and search the area. Medics from Magen David Adom and IDF personnel treated the victim and evacuated him to hospital. In a separate but related incident near Elon Moreh, north of Nablus, another 51-year-old Israeli man was stabbed seriously, with two attackers wounded as the IDF responded. Reports from ALBAWABA and The Jerusalem Post align on the basic facts, noting the involvement of medics and the attackers being neutralized or wounded. The events underscore ongoing security tensions and the risk of violent attacks affecting civilians in the West Bank.
