The alleged stabbing attempt came as tensions have remained high across the occupied West Bank, amid a string of near-nightly raids by the Israeli army and attacks by extremist settlers as well as Palestinian retaliatory operations.
More than 200 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied territories since the start of the year at the hands of Israeli soldiers.
