An Israeli soldier was wounded in a stabbing attack at the Qalandiyah checkpoint in the West Bank on Friday night.

The soldier, 19, sustained moderate to serious wounds to his upper body.

The attacker, a 28-year-old Palestinian, ran toward the crossing and stabbed the soldier. He was shot and killed by the crossing's security staff.

In July, an 18-year-old Palestinian was shot and lightly wounded at the same checkpoint after failing to respond to the calls of Israeli security personnel.

In April, a Palestinian woman armed with a knife and her younger brother were shot dead by Israeli security forces at this checkpoint.
