The Israeli military estimates that terrorists were en route to carry out a large-scale attack against civilians when soldiers intervened, preventing a potentially greater tragedy. The assessment comes after an exchange of fire near the Yehuda Junction on Friday morning, which resulted in five Israelis being wounded. Two sustained serious injuries, two were in moderate condition, and one was lightly injured.
Initial investigations suggest that soldiers had set up a roadblock when they spotted the terrorists' vehicle approaching. The militants reportedly exited their car and opened fire on the soldiers, sparking a firefight. The military is currently investigating whether the attackers were part of a local cell or a larger terrorist infrastructure.
