An Israeli man was seriously wounded on Wednesday morning in a terrorist attack at Okfim Junction near Kiryat Arba, on the outskirts of Hebron in Judea.

The assailant arrived at the scene by car and fired at the victim, a man in his 50s, from his vehicle before getting out and stabbing him, according to the military.

The IDF is searching for the terrorist, who fled the scene.

Magen David Adom emergency medics evacuated the victim to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem in serious condition.

On Tuesday evening, IDF forces foiled an attempted Palestinian terrorist attack close to the Beit Einun interchange near Hebron.
