One Israeli was killed and three were injured in a ramming/stabbing terror attack at noon on Tuesday at the Gush Etzion Junction.

The attack began as a car-ramming incident when two terrorists smashed their vehicle into passersby at the junction.

They then exited the vehicle armed with knives and stabbed people. A man of about 60 was critically injured by the stabbing, and his death was pronounced at the scene. Another victim, a woman, was seriously injured by gunfire aimed at the terrorists. She was shot in the lower half of her body and is currently undergoing surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem.

An MDA spokesperson said that three victims were evacuated to Shaare Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospitals in Jerusalem—a woman of about 40 in serious condition, a man in his 30s, and a 15-year-old boy in moderate condition.

The terrorists, residents of Beit Ummar, a village near Chevron, were neutralized at the scene. According to Palestinian reports, IDF forces raided the village following the attack. They have been identified as Imran al-Atrash from Chevron and Walid Zabarna from Beit Ummar.
