By The Associated Press
A Palestinian stabbed and moderately wounded a 61-year-old Israeli north of Jerusalem on Tuesday, police and rescue workers said.
Police said the motivation for the attack at the Atarot industrial zone was nationalist.
The man was moderately injured and evacuated to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem in Jerusalem.
According to an initial investigation, the assailant stabbed the man in the shoulder as he was getting something out of his car, near a cosmetics factory in the industrial zone.
A large number of security forces, backed by a helicopter were searching for the assailant, who fled the scene.
