Three IDF soldiers were lightly wounded in a ramming attack today near Karmei Tzur on Route 60 in Gush Etzion. The terrorist was shot by one of the soldiers.
Teams of Magen David Adom and an IDF medical force gave the wounded treatment and evacuated them to the Hadassah Ein Karem and Shaare Zedek hospitals in Jerusalem.
The attack took place near the el-Arub junction, while soldiers carried out engineering work on the road between Beit Ummar and el-Arub. One of the patrol soldiers fired and neutralized the terrorist.
Senior MDA medic Abba Richman said “We arrived at the scene together with an IDF medical force and saw three young people fully conscious. Two of them were suffering from minor contusions and dry wounds, while a third suffered injuries to his limbs. We provided first aid treatment in the field, then loaded them onto ambulances and evacuated them to hospitals while they were fully conscious and in stable condition.”
In response to the attack, National Union seretary Ophir Sofer said “We’re tired of explanations about the lone terrorist who operates without a terrorist infrastructure, and therefore there’s no intelligence prior to the attack. One thing is clear – demolishing terrorist homes and deporting their families are a deterrent of the first order.
“The time has come for lawyers and attorneys to be partners in the war on terror and not stand on the side as if they were representatives of the court in The Hague,” Sofer added.

i think u misunderstood. what he meant to say was that its not a reason to do nothing to prevent it. lone wolf attacks are preventable. one idea is what he said: home demolition. there are other ideas as well.
2 articles on Collive about similar incidents on 2 different continents – Los Angeles, CA, USA & Gush Etzion, Israel.
Where next?
These Inhumane Beings have NO limits or boundaries.
The larger terrorist organization is the ideology that venting frustration and anger by ramming and trying to hurt and kill innocent bystanders is ‘normal’ behavior. That’s the problem. That behavior wouldn’t be tolerated in any other western country.
They have to put a stop to this.
These arabs a taught, from a young age, in their midrassa that Jews are bad and so they are all part of a large brainwashed terrorist organization.
Bibi wake up and do something.
Why does that spokesperson assume that this driver is part of some larger terrorist organization? Why is it hard to believe that an Arab would do this out of anger and frustration?
I am glad the soldiers don’t sound like they sustained any major injuries but this seems to be a rather normal occurrence, unfortunately. Just not sure why this is being passed off as some larger, nefarious and coordinated attack.
