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.
