Five people were injured in a shooting attack near the Yehuda Junction in the West Bank on Tuesday morning, including two in critical condition. Medical teams from Magen David Adom (MDA) and the IDF treated and evacuated the wounded from the scene while gunfire continued. Two assailants were killed by security forces at the site.

Searches continued even after the assailants were neutralized. "We arrived at a difficult scene where shooting was still ongoing," described MDA emergency medical technician Tzuriel Edri, detailing how they entered with an armored ambulance to rescue the injured.
