A Palestinian woman wielding a knife wounded an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint outside the West Bank city of Nablus, and other soldiers shot her dead, the army said.
The attack came as Israel beefed up security throughout its towns and cities to prevent attacks during Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, which began Monday night.
Israeli troops also barred Palestinians from entering Israel from the West Bank and Gaza Strip during the holiday.
