One of the two victims of a terror attack in the West Bank on Wednesday night is currently in active labor, Israeli media reported. The woman was reported earlier to be in critical condition.
The terrorists opened fire initially at three cars, and one of them was hit, injuring the two civilians inside, The Jerusalem Post learned.
At 22:01, Magen David Adom (MDA) received a report at its 101 emergency dispatch center about a woman wounded by gunfire on Route 446.
Following a shooting attack targeting a vehicle on Route 446, MDA medics and paramedics began providing medical treatment and referring the 30-year-old woman in critical condition, with gunshot wounds, and the 40-year-old man in serious condition, fully conscious, with gunshot wounds, to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, MDA announced.
Reactions to the terrorist attack
Following the terror attack, Israeli politician Naftali Bennett said on X/Twitter: “I pray with all my heart for them. Let there be no doubt: if there is no security in Samaria, there will be no security in Tel Aviv either. The enemy wants to murder us everywhere. We must eliminate it.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the attack on Thursday morning, saying he was deeply shocked. “This despicable event reflects exactly the difference between us and the vile terrorists whose goal in life is to kill us. I trust that the security forces, even in this case, will quickly reach the murderers and bring them to justice, along with everyone who helped them.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu to restore all West Bank checkpoints following the attack. “I call on the Prime Minister to instruct the IDF to immediately and permanently restore all checkpoints in Judea and Samaria, and to fulfil his commitment to promote the enactment of the death penalty for terrorists. I wish a speedy recovery to those injured in the heinous attack and pray together with the entire people of Israel for their healing.”
According to Ynet, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich visited the hospital where the injured woman is on Thursday. In a statement he shared, “There is much to say and to question, there is a bitter enemy that must be destroyed in Gaza and also here in Judea and Samaria, but in this difficult hour, I only ask all the people of Israel to pray for the healing of the wounded. ‘Please, please heal them.'”
