An IDF force carried out a suspect arrest protocol at a knife-wielding would-be Palestinian terrorist near the Gush Etzion junction Wednesday.

The soldier noticed he was carrying a suspicious object, which later turned out to be a knife, and called out to him, ordering him to stop.

 

When the terrorist kept running, the soldier initiated a suspect arrest protocol, during which he shot the would-be terrorist in the stomach, incapacitating him.

 

The suspect was taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem in moderate condition.

 

There were no Israeli casualties.
