Suspected terror stabbing injures 2 soldiers near Tzrifin base.
Two soldiers were injured in a suspected terror stabbing near the Tzrifin military base in central Israel. The suspected attacker, a 20-year-old from the West Bank city of Hebron, was arrested and taken for questioning. While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack from a terror group, it was welcomed by Hamas. The attack came amid spiking tensions and hours after the IDF said a shooting targeted a northern Israeli town, with an offshoot of the Islamic Jihad terror group claiming responsibility for the attack. Tensions have spiked in the region over the past year as Israeli forces have ratcheted up arrest raids and other counterterror efforts in the West Bank following a series of terror attacks.
