JERUSALEM — Three people were injured in a terrorist shooting attack at the Tekoa Junction in Gush Etzion Sunday morning.
Magen David Adom (MDA) reported that a man in his thirties is in serious condition. The victim was evacuated to Sha’arei Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Two children, a 9-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl, suffered shrapnel injuries in the shooting. The children are reportedly the daughters of the shooting victim.
The terrorists opened fire from a passing vehicle and fled into the neighboring villages.
The IDF reported that security forces are pursuing suspects in the shooting.
MDA senior EMT Netanel Rabi and MDA EMT Avichai Tubi said: “We arrived at the scene after a few minutes and saw a lot of commotion. A man, about 35 years old, was lying conscious on the road, suffering from gunshot wounds to his upper body. We gave him medical treatment in cooperation with the IDF medical force and evacuated him in an MDA mobile intensive care unit to the hospital in serious and stable condition. 2 other injured people were mildly injured by shrapnel and taken to the hospital while receiving medical treatment.”
