A shooting attack near the Junction of Judah in the southern Hebron region on Friday morning resulted in five casualties, with two individuals in critical condition. Emergency medical teams from Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah responded to the scene around 7:15 AM, providing initial treatment before evacuating the wounded to hospitals. One 24-year-old man was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem with moderate injuries to his lower body. Another victim, a young man in his 20s, was evacuated in critical condition with gunshot wounds and was reportedly unconscious. Other casualties were evacuated with varying degrees of injury.
Paramedics described a difficult scene, with ongoing shooting upon their arrival. One medic noted entering with a bulletproof ambulance to extract the injured. A severely wounded individual was treated by IDF medical forces. Another young man in his 20s, conscious with gunshot wounds to his lower limbs, was evacuated in light, stable condition. A fifth victim, also a young man in his 20s, sustained minor facial injuries, likely from shrapnel, and was evacuated in light condition.
Shaare Zedek Medical Center reported receiving two patients in moderate, conscious, and stable condition. Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital received one patient in light, conscious condition. Prime Minister Netanyahu was reportedly holding a situation assessment following the attack.
Following the shooting, the two assailants fled the scene but were pursued by IDF forces, including the Duvdevan unit and aerial assets. The pursuit led to the swift elimination of both terrorists. The IDF stated that forces are continuing to search the area for additional suspects or collaborators and have imposed a security cordon on several villages. The terrorists were armed with an M16 rifle and a pistol. The IDF Chief of Staff noted that a large quantity of ammunition was found in the attackers' vehicle, suggesting their actions prevented a more severe attack.
