Four people were injured in the apparent terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank, medics say.

According to Magen David Adom, one of the injured is a woman in critical condition. Two others are in moderate-to-serious condition, and one is lightly hurt, MDA says.

The circumstances of their injuries are under investigation.

The attack was carried out by at least two assailants who accelerated their vehicle into pedestrians at the junction, before one got out and tried to stab victims, according to preliminary findings. Both terrorists were shot dead by security forces at the scene, first responders say.
