The assailant was shot and killed while he was still in his car. A Palestinian flag lay on the seat of his blue vehicle. According to Palestinian reports, he was Issa Arafat, 18, Beit Umar.
Two of the injured soldiers were officers. One was treated at the scene and the others were evacuated to Sha’are Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem by Magen David Adom with moderate-to-light injuries.
Security forces arrived to the area where clashes broke out with Palestinian protesters throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, creating difficulties for emergency workers treating the wounded.
Authorities closed Route 60 in both directions leading to and from Beit Umar.
Just two days earlier, a soldier was stabbed and seriously wounded at a checkpoint at the al-Fawwar junction in the South Hebron Hills region of the West Bank. It is located on the other side of Hebron from Beit Umar.
The 20-year-old soldier was checking cars, when a Palestinian terrorist launched himself from one of them and stabbed the soldier in the neck. A fellow soldier shot and wounded the attacker.
In response to the number of attacks at the Gush Etzion junction and along Route 60, which runs through Gush Etzion, area residents held an open air market on Friday afternoon where they sold wine, clothing, toys, jewelry and ceramics.
Finally the revenge that all you commentators have been waiting for. The settlers are selling ceramics.
another day, more Jewish blood spilled.
The Palestinians keep on telling the Israelis, we love to spill blood, just like our brothers in Syria Iraq and elsewhere, therefore we are not interested in a state of our own , because then we would have to satisfy our lust for blood, by killing one another, the way it’s done in those places, So don’t waste your time on “peace” talks, and rather take lessons on how to deal with us from Syria’s Assad, and other leaders that have experiece with us, And by the way, ask the Europeans and Americans to finance those lessons and supply you with armaments free of charge, because, we would sure export our terror to them, if you won’t be around,
