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 Israel envoy said that the prime minister’s visit will include 18 meetings and calls for international action against the Iranian regime, Hamas and Jew-hatred.
The Israeli prime minister plans to meet with the presidents of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Panama and Ethiopia, as well as the prime ministers of Greece, Slovenia and Papua New Guinea.
Both decisions will be submitted to the High Court of Justice for review.
“We will continue to hunt down Hamas commanders and operatives, target its sources of funding and destroy its terrorist infrastructure,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
