Terrorists carried out a shooting attack in the West Bank Israeli settlement of Adora on Friday evening, Israeli sources reported. The report followed an alert regarding a possible terrorist infiltration into the community.
The Home Front Command subsequently issued orders that residents of the community take shelter in buildings, lock the doors, and close the windows.
Residents were warned not to exit any buildings until the event had concluded. Traffic in the area has been prohibited until further notice.
Resident shot in the leg
Reports said that terrorists entered the community and attacked an IDF soldier on patrol, and Maariv reported that one resident received a gunshot wound to the leg.
Israeli security personnel reportedly quickly arrived on the scene thereafter, and the Judea and Samaria Update Center stated that a large force was on its way to the site.
Israel’s emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, confirmed that the wounded individual, a 34-year-old male, was suffering from light to moderate wounds and was fully conscious after being shot in the leg.
The man was evacuated to a hospital for further treatment.
A subsequent statement from the IDF reported that after the terrorists infiltrated the community, they fired at IDF troops on patrol at the scene.
Three terrorists eliminated
The IDF immediately launched a pursuit and conducted thorough searches of the area. Over the course of the searches, three terrorists were identified and eliminated by the Israeli security personnel.
Reports said that the terrorists got stuck between the perimeter fence of the area and were unable to cross it. M16 weapons, an axe, knives, and Molotov cocktails were found on the terrorists.
The IDF added that continued searches for additional terrorists are underway.
