An IDF soldier was stabbed in the neck and seriously injured near the West Bank settlement of Shilo Wednesday, and a second was stabbed and lightly injured.
The Palestinian attacker was shot dead.
The seriously hurt soldier, 20, received medical treatment on site and was airlifted to a Jerusalem hospital, a Magen David Adom paramedic said.
The lightly injured soldier received treatment on site.
The incident took place around 10 a.m. north of Ramallah on Route 60, the main artery in the West Bank, outside the West Bank settlement of Shilo.
The circumstances of the incident were not immediately clear.
Last week an IDF soldier was stabbed by a Palestinian near the security barrier, suffering light injuries. He overcame his attacker, who was arrested and interrogated by Israeli authorities.
