A wave of stabbing attacks by Palestinians on Thursday left six Israelis wounded, including a woman soldier and a student, even as security forces shot dead an assailant who used a screwdriver for the assault.
In the latest attack in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, one person was seriously injured and evacuated to a hospital in Jerusalem, according to relief agency Magen David Adom (MDA).
This comes hours after a Palestinian man stabbed a woman Israeli soldier and three others with a screwdriver in Tel Aviv, and was shot dead by security forces. Earlier today, a student was critically injured in a separate incident in Jerusalem.
The woman, a member of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), was assaulted near the Defence Ministry on Begin Avenue, police said.
The assailant was shot dead by security forces after attacking passers-by with a screwdriver opposite the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, reports said.
