A Palestinian tried to stab Israelis with a knife in Samaria on Wednesday and was shot dead by one of them, the Israeli military and a witness said.
The incident took place at Hawara junction, near Nablus.
Yehoshua Sherman, who lives in a nearby settlement, told Israel Radio that he was driving slowly through the intersection with his daughter when a Palestinian charged at their car.
"He jumped at me with a knife, trying to open the doors," Sherman said. "I drew my handgun … rolled down the window and shot at him from inside the car."
A second motorist also fired at the Palestinian, hitting him, Sherman added.
The Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson's Unit said in a statement: "A terrorist was shot by a civilian and neutralized after he tried to carry out a stabbing attack".
The Palestinian health ministry said a second Palestinian was wounded in the incident but did not immediately elaborate.
