Two persons including a 2-year-old were wounded in an early morning shooting attack near the IDF’s Tarkumiya Checkpoint in the Southern Hevron Hills area. A vehicle left the Jewish community of Adura, not far from the PA autonomous area of Hevron. The vehicle was heading south on Route 35, the Trans-Judea road, towards the center of the country. Terrorists firing from a stationary ambush position opened fire on the car carrying five persons at about 7:25am. The terrorists fled to the nearby PA autonomous area.
A female was struck in her chest by gunfire and is listed in moderate condition according to officials in the trauma unit of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem. A 2-year-old is listed in light condition with shrapnel wounds to a leg and another child is being treated for shock following the ordeal.
Southern Jerusalem residents found themselves under fire on Tuesday morning as well. At about 5:30am, automatic gunfire from PA-controlled Beit Jala was directed at homes in Gilo. There were three waves of gunfire between 5:30am and 8:00am. There were no reports of injuries but there was property damage.
