A soldier guarding the community of Yitzhar shouted at a terrorist who fled after stabbing a nine-year-old boy but did not shoot, the administrator of Yitzhar told Voice of Israel government radio Sunday morning. The terrorist threw the boy four 12 feet from a porch, but the child is in good condition.

The Yitzhar administrator pointed out that the terrorist was trying to murder a family by setting fire to their house, which was empty because the family went away for the Sabbath.
