A stabbing attack occurred this morning (Monday) at the Maoz Yehuda ranch, near the village of Otzarin in Samaria. A Muslim terrorist who arrived at the farm in a ‘Palestinian’ commercial vehicle got out with a knife drawn, stabbed the ranch owner, and fled the scene in the vehicle. The injured man, about 20 years old, was taken to Beilinson Hospital in moderate to serious condition.
According to the report, after getting out of the vehicle, the terrorist asked the farm owner where his weapon was – and then began stabbing him. The IDF’s Rabshatz raised a friend for the wounded man and evacuated him for further medical treatment.
MDA medics and paramedics, in cooperation with an IDF medical force, provided the wounded man with medical treatment. MDA emergency medical medic Aviel Mamelia said: “When we arrived at the scene, we saw a young man about 20 years old who was fully conscious, with several stab wounds to his body. We provided him with initial medical treatment together with an IDF medical force, and he was taken to the hospital in moderate to serious condition.”
Immediately after the attack, security forces began a pursuit of the terrorist who fled the scene. According to the IDF spokesperson, many forces were deployed to the area, and a cordon was imposed on the villages in the area.
As part of the manhunt, many forces are operating in the area, including the Duvdevan Unit, Unit 636, and the Nahal Patrol, which are conducting searches in an attempt to locate the terrorist.
