Footage from the scene of a Palestinian terrorist attack at the Judean Crossroads shows intense, continuous gunfire that prevented the evacuation of the wounded for over 20 minutes. Paramedic Ofer Ohana can be heard in the recording reporting the ongoing shooting by the attackers, which hindered rescue efforts. "The terrorist is shooting all the time. There are still exchanges of fire between the terrorist, this son of a dog, and our forces, we still can't get the wounded out. It's been over 20 minutes of active shooting here by the terrorist," he stated.
The attack began Friday morning when two terrorists opened fire on civilians at the Judean Crossroads. Five people were injured: two critically, one seriously, and two lightly. The terrorists fled the scene, prompting a large-scale pursuit by security forces.
Security forces, including soldiers from the 101st Battalion of the Paratroopers Brigade, located and neutralized the terrorists in an exchange of fire. Following the incident, security forces imposed a lockdown on several nearby villages and blocked roads to prevent the escape of any accomplices or other terrorist elements from the area. The video, filmed from cover behind a security vehicle, shows soldiers and security personnel engaged in a firefight with the terrorists, with an armored MDA ambulance seen speeding through the area.
