A father and son (aged 60 and 17) were stabbed in what security forces are calling a terror attack after they visited a Palestinian dentist on Shabbos. The attack took place near the Palestinian town of Azzun located near the Karnei Shomron Township in Samaria. The terrorist asked if they were Jewish. When the pair replied in the affirmative the Palestinian man stabbed them, injuring both the father and son. The IDF responded quickly and treated the pair before they were transported to the hospital by Magen David Adom.
The victims were a 60-year-old father, Yosef Perez, who was lightly injured and his teen son, Liber Perez, 17, who was badly hurt.
The suspect is said to be a 15-year-old local resident. According to Palestinian media reports, Israeli security forces arrested his father on Saturday.
“At 11:20, a report was received at MDA’s 101 emergency line in the Yarkon region about 2 injured people who were apparently attacked near Kfar Azzun and were brought by IDF medical forces to join forces with MDA teams near Eliyahu Crossing,” an MDA spokesperson said.
“MDA medics and paramedics provide medical treatment to 2 injured people, including a 17-year-old boy in serious condition and a 60-year-old man in mild condition. The injured were evacuated by MDA teams to Meir hospital in Kfar Saba.”

“Samaria”? Seriously? We Jews have a word for “Samaria;” we use Shomron instead.
takahmamash: we jews also don’t go to the Dentist on Shabbos, unless it’s a manner of Pikuach Nefesh
Maybe it was pikuach nefesh, although it is better to use a frum Jew for that.
