A terror ramming attack at the Gush Etzion Junction on Sunday evening left three people injured, including a 17-year-old girl who sustained serious wounds. The attack occurred at the busy intersection between Yerushalayim and Chevron before the suspected terrorist was fatally shot by an IDF soldier.

Emergency responders said the 17-year-old victim suffered severe injuries, while a 15-year-old girl was moderately injured. A third person was treated at the scene for shock.

All three victims were transported to Shaare Tzedek Medical Center in Yerushalayim. Hospital officials reported that the critically injured teenager was taken directly into emergency surgery upon arrival.

The suspected attacker, identified as a resident of the Chevron area, was shot and killed by a soldier from the Nachshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.

Moshe Benita, a paramedic with Magen David Adom, and senior MDA medic Chaim Sharabi described the chaotic scene encountered by rescue crews.

“When we arrived at the scene of the attack, we observed significant commotion and a vehicle near a bus stop. Lying next to the vehicle was a 17-year-old girl who was fully conscious and suffering from severe injuries to her lower limbs. We provided initial medical treatment at the scene, including stopping the bleeding, and evacuated her by intensive care ambulance to the hospital in serious condition.

“Additional MDA teams provided medical treatment to another injured girl, 15, who was in mild condition and suffering from facial injuries.”

Security forces launched an investigation into the attack as authorities continued to assess the circumstances surrounding the incident.
