On Wednesday, two terror attacks struck the West Bank within minutes, leaving three Israelis wounded in separate incidents near the Reihan crossing in Samaria and the Sheep Junction in the Hebron Hills. The first attack involved terrorists firing from a passing vehicle at an Israeli car traveling along the security fence near the Reihan crossing, west of Jenin. Two Israelis were wounded – one moderately and one seriously – and evacuated to a hospital for treatment.
Minutes later, a second attack unfolded in the Hebron Hills. A terrorist attempted to ram a vehicle into Israelis at the Sheep Junction, then exited his car wielding a knife. He was shot by security forces and left in critical condition. One Israeli sustained light injuries and was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is handling both scenes, with civilian access restricted. In the Reihan incident, a military helicopter and flare were deployed to aid in the search for the terrorists, who remain at large. Israel Hayom reported that the Reihan Crossing has been sealed off, and Route 60 is closed from Hagai Square East to Junction 200 due to the attacks.
Security forces are actively investigating both incidents, with no further details released at this time.
