Magen David Adom teams quickly arrived at the scene of the incident and began providing life-saving medical treatment to the critically injured woman, and were forced to declare her dead.
Security and rescue forces are scanning additional scenes in the area to ensure that there are no casualties or additional damage as a result of the large-scale firing.
