Sgt. Nir Kahane, 20, of Kiryat Tivon, was stabbed to death at the Kalandiya checkpoint, south of Ramallah. The Fatah al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Palestinian terrorist approached the Kalandiya checkpoint at around 3:45 p.m. and pushed through the "humanitarian needs" line reserved for the elderly, infirm, and pregnant women. He pulled out a knife which was hidden in his clothes, and slit Nir Kahane's throat. Nir, who was checking luggage belonging to Palestinians, was fatally wounded and pronounced dead on the scene. The assailant was apprehended.
