An Israeli was wounded in a stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank village of al-Auja, in the Jordan Valley, prompting Israeli forces to launch a wide search operation for the attacker. The incident adds to a string of violent episodes in the West Bank amid heightened tensions. The Israeli army said it later apprehended a 16-year-old Palestinian suspected of carrying out the stabbing, and raided al-Auja, deploying troops in the streets and imposing a curfew, according to the village council head. Separately the same day, Israeli forces opened fire on a Palestinian man elsewhere in the West Bank whom they accused of attempting to steal a weapon from a soldier, underscoring a broader pattern of clashes across the territory.
