Shocking footage has emerged showing the moment an Islamic Jihad terrorist launched a murderous attack on a group of civilians waiting at a bus stop outside the town of Alon Shvut in Gush Etzion.

The video shows how Maher Hamdi al-Hashalmoun first drove his car into the bus stop, knocking over and injuring his victims. Chillingly, the CCTV footage then shows him running up to one of them - identified as a 25-year-old woman - and stabbing her to death as she lay injured on the floor.

Warning - Graphic Footage:

He then attacks another passerby, who briefly struggles with him as he stabs and slashes with his knife. 

Finally, a guard from the gate of Alon Shvut runs to the scene and appears to shoot the attacker, who runs away as the guard gives chase. 

Al-Halshamoun was shot several times in the chest and has been hospitalized in serious condition.
