Hebron, Palestinian Territories: A Palestinian stabbed and lightly injured an Israeli border guard in the West Bank today, and was shot dead by another guard, police and the army said.
"A Palestinian attacked and stabbed a soldier in Hebron. Security forces responded and shot the attacker. The soldier sustained light injuries and is receiving emergency medical care," the army said in a statement.
