Three IDF Soldiers Hurt In Gush Etzion Terror Attack
2014-11-06
[Ynet] Mere hours after Ibrahim al-Akari kills Border Patrol officer in Jerusalem attack, a Paleostinian vehicle runs over Israeli soldiers near a refugee camp.

Israel Police said a large commercial vehicle with Paleostinian plates rammed into three IDF soldiers standing near a pillbox by al-Arroub on Wednesday.

Magen David Adom rescue personnel confirmed three soldiers suffered moderate-to-severe injuries near a Paleostinian refugee camp close to the Gush Etzion Junction.

The vehicle escaped towards Hebron; security forces are conducting searches of the area and placing barricades to catch the suspect.

Earlier Wednesday, Ibrahimal-Akari, a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, member from Shuafat, plowed his van into two separate crowds of Israelis, killing a Border Patrol officer and wounding 12 others.

On Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called in the defense minister, internal security minister, chief of police, and other officials for a consultation in the wake of the terror attack in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem police also decided to coordinate with the Jerusalem Light Rail's managing firm, CityPass, to place concrete barriers near stations, in order to prevent further attempts at vehicular rampage. The first barriers were placed in French Hill stations in the late evening.

IDF forces hunt for driver who ran over soldiers in West Bank

A full-scale manhunt was underway for the Paleostinian driver of a vehicle who rammed into three IDF soldiers on a West Bank road Wednesday evening in what appeared to be that day's second vehicular terror attack.

Two of the soldiers were moderately hurt and one sustained light injuries, Israel Radio reported. They were evacuated to hospitals in Jerusalem for treatment, and a hospital official said there was no immediate threat to their lives.
