HEBRON, Palestine (AA) - An Israeli soldier was found dead on Thursday after he was stabbed in the West Bank, the Israeli army said.

"The soldier had been missing since Wednesday evening and his body was found in the early hours of Thursday with stabbing wounds," it added.

According to the statement, the soldier had first been abducted and he had not been murdered at the site where his body was found.
