27-year-old woman shot in drive-by terrorist shooting north of Jerusalem.
By World Israel News Staff
An Israeli woman was wounded Monday morning in a terrorist shooting attack in Samaria, north of Jerusalem.
The drive-by shooting attack occurred near the entrance of the Israeli town of Ateret when terrorists in a passing car fired at least 10 rounds at an Israeli civilian vehicle, before fleeing the scene.
A 27-year-old woman was moderately wounded, while her husband and two young children were unharmed in the attack.
Emergency first responders from Magen David Adom (MDA) and United Hatzalah were dispatched to the scene to treat the victim, before evacuating her to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
“Next to the entrance to Ateret we linked up with the vehicle where there was a man, a woman, and a baby roughly a month and a half old,” said MDA paramedic Ari Rosenstein.
“They told us that at the El-Rawabi Junction they were shot at, and the woman was wounded in the shooting. We provided medical treatment and evacuated her in a MDA mobile intensive care unit to the hospital while she was in stable condition.”
“The man and the baby who were together with her in the vehicle were not harmed and did not need medical attention.”
The IDF has launched a manhunt for the terrorists involved in the attack, with multiple roadblocks set up in the area.
Monday’s shooting is the second in Samaria in as many days.
On Sunday, an Arab terrorist stabbed 49-year-old IDF reservist Meni Kleicheim, a resident of Ateret, at a gas station near the Green Line.
Kleicheim was moderately wounded in the attack.
Authorities have identified the terrorist as 21-year-old Ramy Balout, a resident of the Palestinian town of Rantis and a member of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Balout was wounded in the attack, but managed to flee the scene. He was later apprehended after IDF forces surrounded his homein Rantis.
