Exclusive footage from the scene of a shooting attack at the Yehuda Junction reveals two Hamas terrorists emerging from a stolen vehicle and opening fire on security forces at a checkpoint. The incident, which occurred around 7:20 AM, involved terrorists arriving in a car with Israeli license plates.
