A severe shooting attack occurred on the Judean Hills road, between the Yehuda junction and Hebron, on Friday, leaving five people injured. Two victims are in critical condition, one is in moderate condition, and two sustained light injuries. Emergency medical services and IDF medical personnel responded to the scene to provide treatment.
The two critically wounded individuals were still being treated at the scene, while those with moderate and light injuries were evacuated to Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals in Jerusalem. Initial footage from the scene captured a chilling cry, "The terrorist is shooting at us all the time," illustrating the terror of the moments during the attack.
The incident took place near the Beit Kahil bridge when two assailants opened fire on civilians. Shortly after, Israeli forces engaged and neutralized the two terrorists in a firefight. The IDF stated that "following the report of a shooting attack in the Yehuda junction area in the Yehuda Brigade, two terrorists were neutralized, and IDF forces continue to conduct searches."
In response to the attack, significant forces, including Duvdevan unit fighters and aerial assets, were deployed to the area to conduct extensive searches. Security forces also imposed a lockdown on several villages in the region and blocked major roads as part of efforts to prevent the escape of accomplices or additional terrorists.
