The incident occurred at a road junction south of the Palestinian city of Nablus, the military said in a statement. Israeli troops at a nearby military post “spotted an assailant who attempted to stab two IDF (Israeli military) soldiers” stationed at the road junction. The Palestinian health ministry said the man had died, without identifying him. Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war. Palestinians seek the territory for an independent state they hope to set up in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
