Palestinian Tries to Stab Israeli Soldier in the Neck, Ends Up Eating Bullets

A Palestinian man tried to carry out a stabbing attack in Hebron on Friday and was shot by security personal and critically injured.



The attacker was neutralized after attempting to stab soldiers at an army post near Kiryat Arba, and was taken to the hospital.



Channel 10 news released video footage showing the wounded attacker on the ground covered by a blanket and a knife on the sidewalk nearby. Other images showed the assailant being taken away by troops on a stretcher.



According to the video footage it seems the troops hesitated to open fire at the Palestinian armed with knife, till a resident approached the scene and shot him in the lower body. The Palestinian still managed to get up with his knife towards the soldiers and then was shot again, this time by the troops.



The army said additional troops were dispatched to the Givat Avot neighborhood, where the incident took place.
