| At the scene shortly after the thwarted attack |
A Ynet report says the attacker coming from the direction of Nablus brandished a knife as he charged at a group of soldiers from the Golani 51st Battalion standing in a square - Kikar Hahativa (כיכר החטיבה) or Brigade Square. The soldiers opened fire at the man before he managed to reach them. He was rendered unable to continue his attempt to cause serious harm and is injured - though his condition is not reported at this time. He received emergency treatment at the scene from IDF medics and was then evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for further treatment.

Israeli media sites reported that the Palestinian was in a critical condition.There's a Palestinian Arab video clip [here], evidently taken from within a passing car, of the scene shortly after the attacker was stopped.
Hawara is where Hussam Abdo, the cognitively-challenged human bomb we mentioned in a recent post [here] was stopped by alert IDF service personnel in March 2004.
