The slain victim of the terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction earlier today is named as Aharon Cohen, a resident of the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba near Hebron, local authorities announce.

He was 65, Hebrew media report.

He will be buried later this evening, a spokesperson for the settlement says.

In the attack earlier today, two Palestinian terrorists from the Hebron area rammed their car into people at the junction. They then got out of the car, and one of the attackers started stabbing several victims, including Cohen, fatally.

Three people were injured in the attack, one seriously.
