Medics and security forces are responding to reports of a suspected terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank.

According to preliminary reports, at least two Israelis are injured, and three assailants who were armed with knives were neutralized.

The attack apparently began with a car-ramming attempt, before the assailants exited the car and tried to stab victims.

The IDF says it received a report of a “ramming and stabbing attack” in the area, adding that the details are under review.
