Israel’s emergency services have said that a soldier critically wounded in a stabbing attack in the occupied West Bank near the Gush Etzion settlements has succumbed to his injuries, Al Jazeera reports, citing Times of Israel.

The Israeli army had confirmed that “two terrorists” — a usual way for Israel to describe Palestinian suspects — were killed by back-up security personnel at the scene.
