One of the victims of the terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank was apparently mistakenly hit by Israeli troops’ gunfire.

Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem says that the woman, 55, is in serious condition after sustaining gunshot wounds to her lower body.

The two terrorists initially tried to ram their vehicle into pedestrians at the junction, before one got out and stabbed victims.

A man in his 30s was stabbed to death, and two others, a man in his 30s and a 15-year-old boy, were moderately injured.

Both terrorists were shot dead by IDF troops at the scene.
