An Israeli soldier was seriously wounded after a Palestinian reportedly stabbed him and struck him with a stone on the head near the illegal settlement of Beit El, north of Ramallah, Israeli news site Ynet reported.

The Palestinian reportedly entered the settlement through a gap of missing concrete in the wall of a military post.
