Two Israeli soldiers have been injured in a stabbing near a settlement in the West Bank, with the attacker killed shortly afterwards, the Israeli army has said.
An army spokeswoman said: "There was a stabbing attack near Shilo junction. Two people were stabbed and taken to hospital. The terrorist was targeted and killed by IDF (Israel Defence Forces) forces."
The incident happened on route 60, the main road linking the cities of Ramallah and Nablus.
Military sources told AFP one of the soldiers was in a serious condition after being stabbed in the neck.
The other soldier was said to have suffered light to moderate injuries.
Emergency services confirmed paramedics were called to a report of a stabbing near the entrance to the Maale Levona settlement near Shilo.
A statement said: "Paramedics are transferring a young man of around 20 to (Jerusalem's) Shaarei Tzedek hospital in serious condition with a stab wound to his upper body."
Palestinian security sources said they have sent an ambulance to pick up the body of the attacker.
There was a similar wave of attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem towards the end of last year, but the violence has mostly subsided.
Palestinians demand the West Bank, which was captured by Israel from Jordan in the 1967 war, as part of their future state and object to an Israeli presence there.
Soldiers and Jewish settlers are often targeted by militants.
