The two terrorists who carried out the car-ramming and stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank earlier today are identified by Palestinian officials as Imran al-Atrash and Walid Sabarneh, both 18.

Al-Atrash is from Hebron, and Sabarneh is from the nearby town of Beit Ummar, according to the Palestinian Authority health ministry.

The ministry says it was informed of their deaths, meaning that their bodies are being held by Israeli authorities.
