Middle East: attack in the West Bank, woman wounded by mistake by IDF soldiers

Turin, 18 Nov. (LaPresse) – The woman seriously injured in the attack at the Gush Etzion junction in the West Bank was apparently hit by Israeli troops’ gunfire by mistake. Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem, quoted by the Times of Israel, said the 55-year-old woman is in serious condition after suffering gunshot wounds to her lower body. Initially, the two attackers attempted to ram pedestrians at the junction with their vehicle, before one of them got out and stabbed the victims. Both were shot dead by IDF troops at the scene. A man in his thirties was stabbed to death, while two others, a man in his thirties and a 15-year-old boy, were slightly injured.
