Shortly before midnight on Thursday, security forces apprehended the Palestinian terrorist who stabbed a 32-year-old IDF reservist at a bus stop near Nablus (Shechem) in Samaria in the afternoon. The victim remains in moderate-to-serious condition.

A second victim, an Israeli woman, was injured by bullet shrapnel as shots were fired at the terrorist.

Following an intelligence tip-off, a Border Police counterterrorism unit arrested the 19-year-old suspect.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman praised the forces for their “outstanding intelligence work,” adding that a further mission remains to catch the terrorist who shot and killed two people at the Barkan industrial zone on Sunday.

Col. Sagiv Dahan, commanding officer of the Shomron Regional Brigade, said that catching the terrorist “was possible because of Intelligence and operational activity and the cooperation of the Israel Defense Forces, Israel’s Security Agency and Border Police Forces.

“Our mission is to continue to strengthen the safety and protect the quality of life of Samaria residents,” he said.
