One person was R”L seriously wounded on Wednesday morning after coming under fire from a car carrying terrorists at the Ariel Junction, and a second injury lightly from shrapnel in his leg.

Additionally, as the car fled, the terrorists reportedly opened fire at oncoming traffic.
In 2002, three soldiers were killed and 19 other people wounded when a suicide bomber detonated himself in approximately the same location.
Israeli Security Forces said they had located the suspected vehicle used in the attack in the Arab village of Jamma’in near Ariel.
The car had been set on fire, and officials believed that the perpetrators used another one to escape, the Jerusalem Post reported.
