Israel faced another brutal act of terrorism at the Gush Etzion Junction, where at least four Israelis were wounded in a combined car-ramming and stabbing attack. One victim was left in critical condition as three Palestinian terrorists launched a coordinated assault on civilians in the busy area, targeting Israelis in what authorities are describing as a deliberate act of violence.

According to initial reports, the terrorists used a vehicle to ram into people at the junction before exiting the car and attempting to stab additional victims. Israeli security forces responded with decisive force, killing all three attackers at the scene and preventing further casualties. Emergency responders treated the wounded while securing the area and ensuring no additional threats remained.

The attack underscores the continuing danger Israeli civilians face from terror networks that seek to target ordinary people going about their daily lives. It also highlights the swift and effective actions of Israeli security personnel, whose rapid response prevented what could have been a significantly higher toll.

As investigations continue, officials reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to protecting its citizens and maintaining security across Judea and Samaria. The attack serves as a sobering reminder of the ongoing threat of terrorism — and the vigilance required to confront it.
