An IDF soldier was injured in a stabbing attack near the town of Yitzhar in the Shomron, on Route 60, Wednesday afternoon. The soldier was lightly wounded and taken to the Beilinson Hospital for further treatment. He was released from the hospital a short while later.

According to Israeli media, al-Atrash was transferred for interrogation with Israeli intelligence.
