Israel Defense Forces soldiers thwarted an attempted stabbing attack near the Migdal Oz intersection of Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem, on Tuesday evening, according to Hebrew media reports.

The terrorist was stopped, according to reports. No injuries have been reported.

The president did not say where the negotiations would take place.
The sculpture was created by Israeli artist Itay Zalait, who began his military service in the elite IDF unit Yoni Netanyahu commanded.
“The country of Israel joins me in this commitment,” the U.S. president said of the negotiations.
The Israeli military also killed a Hamas deputy cell commander who doubled as a physician in Shifa Hospital.
