A woman who was wounded in a West Bank terror shooting earlier today remains in critical condition.
The woman’s two daughters, aged 15 and 21, were killed in the attack. The victims are British-Israeli nationals.
The mother is undergoing operations at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital and is still in danger of losing her life, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
She suffered a number of penetrative wounds to her upper body in the shooting.
Doctors have carried out complex operations since she arrived at the hospital and are fighting to save her life.
Her evacuation by helicopter to the hospital was delayed because medics needed to stabilize her before removing her from the scene of the shooting.
Dozens of her friends and family are gathered in the hospital and will likely remain there for Shabbat.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
