Two Israelis stabbed in West Bank supermarket attack

Two Israelis were stabbed, seriously injuring one, outside a West Bank supermarket.

The victims, 21  and 35, were attacked Thursday at the Rami Levi supermarket in Shaar Binyamin, north of Jerusalem. They were taken to Jerusalem hospitals.

The suspected assailants, identified as Palestinians by the Israel Defense Forces, were shot and injured by an armed civilian bystander. They were treated by paramedics on the scene and taken to the hospital for treatment, according to the IDF.

The police later reported that the assailants were Palestinian teens, ages 14 and 15, from the West Bank town of Beitunia near Ramallah,  and that they had spent about 20 minutes in the store before carrying out the attack.

The Rami Levy chain is known for hiring Jewish and Palestinian workers in its West Bank stores, as well as catering to both Jewish and Arab shoppers.
