Two security guards were lightly wounded in a stabbing attack at the entrance to the Mishor Adumim industrial area in the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim on Sunday.

The two were evacuated to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus by the Magen David Adom ambulance service after receiving medical treatment at the scene.

A woman, 24, was lightly-to-moderately injured, and a man in his 20s was lightly hurt in the attack, MDA said.

Police said the stabber was shot and “neutralized” by the security guards. His condition was not immediately clear.

Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have been high since October 7, when some 3,000 terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel in a Hamas-led attack, killing at least 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and seizing some 240 hostages.

Israel responded with an aerial campaign and subsequent ground operation with the goal of destroying Hamas and ending its 16-year rule over Gaza and securing the release of the hostages.

The Israel Defense Forces has continued to operate throughout the West Bank and police have been on high alert in Israel, in light of concerns about a possible escalation of violence.
