A knife was also found on the terrorist's body. The soldier suffered minor injuries and received medical treatment at the scene.
The soldier was attacked after leaving a military vehicle, with the terrorist charging at him and striking him on the head.
"He hit me over the head with a hammer. Think what would have happened had I fainted from the hammer – I would have been stabbed and nobody would have known where I was, because I was in the pillbox," the soldier said in a recording to a friend.
