Israeli Woman Stabbed in West Bank Settlement Dies of Wounds

JERUSALEM — A young Israeli woman who was stabbed by Palestinian assailants in a West Bank settlement died of her wounds in a Jerusalem hospital early on Tuesday, several hours after the attack.

The victim, Shlomit Krigman, 23, was one of two women who were stabbed on Monday during an assault in the settlement of Beit Horon, where she was staying with her grandparents.

Ms. Krigman, who recently completed a bachelor’s degree in industrial design at Ariel University in the occupied West Bank, was from the settlement of Shadmot Mehola in the Jordan Valley.

A security guard shot and killed the two assailants at the scene.
