An Israeli military spokesperson reported on Friday morning that a shooting attack occurred near the Yehuda Junction in the Yehuda Brigade's area of operation. Initial reports indicated casualties at the scene, prompting a swift response from IDF forces.
The assailant fled the scene after carrying out the attack. A large IDF force pursued the terrorists, establishing extensive roadblocks in the area to locate and neutralize them. Following a brief chase, IDF forces encountered the assailants, who continued to fire at security personnel. The soldiers returned fire, neutralizing the terrorists.
The attack took place on Route 35, near the Tarkumiya checkpoint. Security forces at the scene are treating several wounded individuals, whose conditions have not yet been released. This incident follows a period of heightened tensions in the West Bank, which has seen several shooting attacks and terror incidents in recent months.
Notable past incidents include a shooting attack in September near Naveh Tzuf in the Benjamin Brigade area, where a Jewish man was seriously injured. In July, two IDF soldiers were killed in a fatal shooting attack near the village of Tal in the Shomron Brigade area. In response to that attack, the Prime Minister and Defense Minister ordered the immediate demolition of the terrorist's home and intensified operations in villages identified as terror hubs throughout the West Bank.
