According to the IDF and police, one of the attackers was neutralized at the scene. “The soldiers, together with additional medical personnel, began extensive searches for additional terrorists and are providing medical treatment to the injured,” the IDF said.
The attack took place across multiple locations in the Kochav Ya’ir area, not far from the security barrier with Yehudah and Shomron. MDA said it was treating victims at three separate sites. A man in his 50s was seriously wounded and a man in his 30s was moderately hurt at a gas station near Kochav Ya’ir. A 31-year-old man was moderately injured near the entrance to the town of Tzur Yitzhak. Two additional victims were treated near the town of Tzur Natan, one of whom was unconscious.
MDA subsequently declared the death of one of the victims.
