Palestinian Stabs, Wounds Israeli in West Bank Attack

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A Palestinian teenager stabbed and seriously wounded an Israeli man in the West Bank on Wednesday, police said, the latest in a a relentless outburst of violence between Israelis and Palestinians.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the attack took place near a gas station in the West Bank settlement of Givat Zeev. She said a 50-year-old man was stabbed and that he was evacuated to a hospital.

She said civilians at the scene ran after the attacker, a 17-year-old Palestinian whose identity was not immediately known, and held him until police arrived and apprehended him. The attacker was lightly wounded and taken to the hospital for treatment, she said.

The attack is the latest in more than four months of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Some 26 Israelis and one American student have been killed in Palestinian attacks. At least 149 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, 104 of whom are said by Israel to have been attackers. The remainder have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
