An unwary British tourist was stabbed by an Arab mugger after he ventured into the Palestinian Authority town of Beit Sahour on Sunday.

The town is located south of Jerusalem’s Har Homa neighborhood, close to the Gush Etzion community of Tekoa, near the PA town of Bethlehem.

The British victim sustained moderate neck wounds.

IDF sources said the attack “was of criminal intent.”
