The Times of Israel reports: A Palestinian man attempted to stab a group of soldiers outside the Arab village of Teqoa in the central West Bank on Thursday, the army said.
The assailant was shot dead by the troops on the scene, according to the military. None of the soldiers were injured. The IDF said the attempted stabbing occurred at a checkpoint the army had set up near the entrance to the Palestinian village of Teqoa.
