Hamas terror attack leaves one seriously wounded in West Bank
Shaare Zedek Hospital announced that the man, who was evacuated there in serious condition, is now moderate and stable.
The terrorist who carried out the terror attack near Hebron on Wednesday morning was caught by IDF troops and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) forces on Wednesday evening, the IDF said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF and MDA reported the military is responding to a terrorist shooting in the Hebron area in which one 50-year-old man was seriously wounded.
According to initial reports, a terrorist fired at an Israeli vehicle between Kiryat Arba and Beit Einun and then attacked the driver, stabbing him in his hand and head, Ynet reported.
"The soldiers chased after the terrorist who fled the scene and simultaneously blocked routes in the area," the IDF later added. Furthermore, according to the IDF, the terrorist "arrived in his vehicle at the bypass route in the Yehuda Brigade area while "armed with a handgun."
After arriving at the bypass, the terrorist opened fire at an Israeli civilian. "Afterward, the terrorist exited his vehicle and stabbed the civilian," the IDF reported.
"IDF soldiers provided the civilian with on-site treatment, and he was evacuated to a hospital by Magen David Adom (MDA) for further medical care."
