Shortly before 4 pm, a 25 year old Israeli man was seriously injured when he was stabbed in the back by a Palestinian terrorist at the western entrance to Kiryat Arba in Hebron. The Palestinian assailant fled and has not yet been captured.
The Israeli victim was treated by a local medic and then taken to Shaarei Zedek hospital in Jerusalem.
Moti Unger the Kiryat Arba medic who treated the injured man said, "There was a young man laying fully conscious on the road with stab wounds to the upper part of his body. With assistance from army medics we gave him life-saving first aid using bandages, liquids and blood transfusions and sent him to hospital in a serious condition."
This was today's third stabbing terror attack. This morning a 25 year-old man was seriously injured while waiting at a Jerusalem light rail station in French Hill. The assailant was apprehended. Just after midday a young woman soldier in Tel Aviv was attacked with a screwdriver by a Palestinian who tried to snatch her gun. He was shot dead by an Israel Air Force officer after a chase. The woman was lightly injured.
