[Behind the Aegis]

At least three people - an Israel Defense Forces officer and two Palestinians - were killed Thursday morning when a suicide bomber blew himself up at an IDF checkpoint in the West Bank set up in response to warnings of an impending terrorist attack. The officer killed in the attack was named as Lieutenant Ori Binamo, 21, from Nesher.

Later on Thursday an Israeli man was stabbed by a Palestinian as he was standing at a bus stop near Jerusalem.

The victim, 42, was lightly wounded and managed to reach the nearby army base of Atarot by himself. He said that while waiting at the bus station, a bearded Palestinian stabbed him in the neck. The victim was treated at the base and was then transferred to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

Police and military personnel were searching for the assailant, who fled the scene.
