The Israeli man arrived at a military checkpoint with a stab wound and said that a man in a butcher shop in the town’s industrial zone had attacked him, reported Ynet.

The Israeli was taken to the hospital, and the IDF searched for the suspect.

A day earlier, a 48-year-old Israeli man was moderately wounded after being stabbed in the neck while in the same town.

This man also arrived at a checkpoint and said he was stabbed several times in a ceramics shop in the town.
