Israeli television reporter stabbed while testing 'knife-proof' vest | Middle East | News | The Independent
An Israeli reporter has been stabbed by the president of a body armour company who was trying to prove the strength of their protective vests.
Eitam Lachover donned the garment for a segment on Channel 1 news amid a continuing wave of attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
Yaniv Montakyo, vice president of the manufacturing company, pulled out a large steel “commando knife” that he said was used by armies around the world.
“You’re going to stab me with this?” Mr Lachover asked, looking at the weapon dubiously.
“Yes,” Mr Montakyo replied. “You have nothing to worry about, we are very confident in our product.
