The 16-year old terrorist from the town of Yaabad, near Jenin, stabbed a soldier at the entrance to the town of Mevo Dotan in Samaria Thursday morning, leaving him in light-to-moderate condition.
Security forces on the scene opened fire on the terrorist, leaving her in critical condition.

Samaria Regional Council chief Yossi Dagan praised the soldiers on the scene for their quick response to the attack.
