The attack near the West Bank settlement of Shilo appears to have been an attempted car-ramming and stabbing, and not a shooting attack, according to first responders.
Medics at the scene say that the attacker was shot after crashing his car into a bus stop at the Shilo Junction and getting out with a knife.
The IDF confirms the details in a statement.
Magen David Adom says it is treating two civilians, a 26-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, who were lightly hurt in the attack, and taking them to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus. Several others are being treated for acute anxiety.
ניסיון פיגוע בצומת שילה: מחבל הגיע לצומת, פגע בעוצמה רבה בגדר ההפרדה אך פספס את הישראלים שהיו במקום. הוא יצא החוצה כשבידו סכין וניסה לדקור אותם, ואז חוסל. ישנם שני נפגעי חרדה בשטח, אין פצועים פיזית ככל הידוע.
