Two Israelis have been wounded in another round of attacks in Israel today.

The female victim of a stabbing attack at the Adam Junction near Jerusalem earlier today has been identified as a 19-year-old IDF soldier.

The knife assault took place near Geva Binyamin, and left the soldier in a critical condition. The assailant was shot and killed by another soldier at the scene.

Also on Wednesday, a police officer was wounded after a car rammed him near the West Bank town of Silwad. The officer was hit at a checkpoint outside the Ofra settlement before the driver abandoned his car and fled into the settlement on foot.
