Woman stabbed in Deir Qaddis town in central West Bank, according to Israeli media
An illegal Israeli settler was injured in an alleged stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to Israeli media.
A woman was stabbed in the central town of Deir Qaddis near the Modi'in Illit settlement, west of Ramallah, the Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.
Israeli Channel 12 said the Israeli army imposed a security cordon around the town and launched a manhunt for the attacker.
Tension has been running high across the occupied West Bank due to Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 45,700 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.
At least 835 Palestinians have since been killed and nearly 6,700 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to Palestinian figures.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
