The wounded females are border policewomen, one listed in critical condition as CPR continues and the second in serious condition. The wounded have been removed from the scene. A police spokesman explains they were heavily armed.

The terrorists, all from the Jenin area, have been neutralized. It is unknown if they were killed.

14:36: As police continue at the scene of the latest Arab terror attack, they are being attacked with stones.

Two of the terrorists have been killed. The condition of the third is unknown. A photo of their PA (Palestinian Authority) ID cards is among the photos following the article.

14:44: Updates from MDA Chief of Operations Eli Bin: One border policewoman is in critical condition as CPR and advanced life support measures continue in a hospital. The second victim is listed in serious condition and efforts are ongoing to stabilize her condition.

It is unclear if the wounds are from knives, gunfire or both.

14:14: Two females are among the wounded. CPR is being performed on one of them and the second is reported in serious condition.

Security forces are distancing all responders, apparently fearing there is an explosive device in the area.

14:19: The area has been cleared for fear of a pipe bomb, which may have been set into place to detonated as emergency responders operate on the scene. Needless to say this development delays operating on the scene as police distances everyone and shuts the area to traffic.
