Three Israelis, two women and a man, were ambushed Friday afternoon by Arab terrorist gunmen as they were driving between the Jewish towns of Karnei Shomron and Kedumim in Israel's biblical heartland of Samaria (Shomron).
The two women were lightly wounded in the shooting attack, and the man suffered from shock. They managed to drive to the Zar Ranch nearby. A Magen David Adom emergency medical services team treated them and transferred them to a hospital in Kfar Saba. Fatah – which is under the command of Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas – took responsibility for the attack.
According to reports, the Fatah terrorists fled in a white Subaru which they used during the ambush. IDF troops set up roadblocks throughout the area in an attempt to apprehend them.
A small IDF force entered northern Gaza Friday morning, in what the IDF spokesman said was "anti-terror activity." Arabs said the Israeli force included tanks and additional armored vehicles.
It is from northern Gaza that the rockets and mortar shells are fired on the Israeli town of Sderot.
