On Wednesday morning (Aug 26), a Palestinian terror operative attempted to stab IDF soldiers manning a security checkpoint in Hebron in the Judea and Samaria region. The soldiers opened fire at the terror operative and identified hitting him. An IDF medic provided initial medical treatment for the man, who was then transferred to the hospital for further medical treatment.

During the night, IDF forces arrested three wanted Palestinians throughout the Judea and Samaria region. The men were taken for questioning by security forces.
