Palestinian Shot Dead After Stabbing Israeli
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
A Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli troops after he stabbed an Israeli man at a West Bank gas station.
The 26-year-old victim was slightly injured in the attack near Modiin, in central Israel, where he was filling up his car, the Israel Defense Forces said. He reportedly was attacked by a group of approximately four Palestinian assailants.
The assailant who was killed was shot to prevent him from escaping, the IDF told Israeli media outlets. He reportedly was declared dead at the scene.
Israeli forces were looking for the rest of the group.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
