A Chabad chossid from Kfar Chabad was injured overnight Wednesday in a stabbing attack during an IDF counterterror operation near Jenin, and heroically neutralized the terrorist despite being wounded.

The incident took place on the outskirts of the village of Rumana, under the Menashe Brigade’s jurisdiction. According to the IDF Spokesperson, “During an operational activity of an IDF force in the village of Rumana in the Menashe Brigade, a terrorist stabbed an IDF soldier and moderately wounded him.”

The injured soldier is a father of seven, a reservist in Battalion 941, and a graduate of the Netzach Yehuda program. During the mission, a terrorist surprised him from behind and stabbed him. Despite the sudden attack and his injuries, the soldier acted with remarkable presence of mind, turned, and immediately neutralized the terrorist.

The rest of the unit secured the area and confirmed there were no additional threats. A military helicopter was dispatched to evacuate the soldier to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.

At first, his condition was described as moderate and stable. Baruch Hashem, his status has since improved, and doctors now report that he is in mild and stable condition, fully conscious and out of danger.
