Three hurt in shooting and ramming attack in West Bank, medics say

Two people have been wounded by gunfire at a gas station at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank, and another person was hurt after being hit by a car at the entrance to the nearby Karmei Tzur settlement, medics say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it is taking to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem a 24-year-old in moderate condition and a 34-year-old in good condition after they were shot at the gas station.

At the gas station, a vehicle reportedly exploded. MDA says that the apparent terrorist was shot and “neutralized” by Israeli forces at the scene.

Separately, MDA says its medics are treating a man who was lightly wounded after being hit by a car that breached Karmei Tzur.

The second attacker was also “neutralized,” MDA says.

The IDF reported earlier that a suspect opened fire in Karmei Tzur before being shot.
