Overview
- The Israeli ambulance service reported a 30-year-old man died of a stab wound, with a woman in serious condition and a man and boy in moderate condition.
- The IDF said the attackers tried to ram people then stabbed others before soldiers shot them dead, an incident Israeli authorities labeled a terror attack.
- The military said explosive materials were found in the attackers’ vehicle and are being neutralized by Israel Border Police bomb disposal specialists.
- The attack occurred at the Gush Etzion junction between Bethlehem and Hebron, with no immediate claim of responsibility announced.
- The violence tracks rising tensions in the West Bank, including settler arson in al-Jab’a, as the U.N. Security Council backs the U.S. postwar Gaza plan rejected by Hamas and welcomed by the Palestinian Authority.
