      An Israeli settler has been wounded on Monday, in a stabbing attack south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

      Israeli Army Radio said a Palestinian man got out of a vehicle near a farm in Osarin village and stabbed an Israeli man several times before fleeing the scene.

      The Israeli occupation army cordoned off the area and carried out a man hunt, searching for the attacker.

      Israeli Channel 12 reported that the wounded settler was taken by helicopter to hospital in serious condition.

      Later on Monday, the occupation army announced its forces shot the man who allegedly stabbed an Israeli settler.

      In a post on Telegram, the occupation military said its forces located the suspect in his vehicle. It said he tried to stab the soldiers, prompting an Israeli commander to open fire him.

      The incident comes during an unprecedented escalation in settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, often carried out under the protection of Israeli soldiers.

      For its part, Hamas Palestinian resistance movement hailed the “heroic operation as a legitimate response to the ongoing crimes of the occupation and the extremist settlers”.
