A Palestinian Arab on Friday afternoon attempted to carry out a stabbing attack in Kiryat Arba, south of Jerusalem.
IDF soldiers spotted the terrorist, called to him to stop, and when the terrorist was meters away and brandishing a knife, they neutralized him.
The terrorist was wounded and was evacuated by the forces for medical treatment.
There were no injuries among the Israeli soldiers.
