The number of neutralized attackers is adding up. [IsraelTimes] Reservist seriously hurt, taken to hospital for treatment; attack takes place near site of similar assault Friday, where 5 soldiers were hurtAn Israeli soldier was seriously maimed in a car-ramming attack at a army position in the southern West Bank, the military and medics said Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces said the attack took place near the al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron, not far from the site of a car-ramming attack Friday in which five soldiers were maimed. It said troops "neutralized" the assailant in the attack, and later confirmed that a reservist of the 7018th Battalion was seriously maimed in the attack. He was taken to Soroka Medical Center for further treatment. In Friday’s attack, near Adorayim Junction, one soldier was listed at death's door, while the other four were light-to-moderately hurt, according to the IDF. All five were taken to hospitals in Israel for treatment. Troops operating in the area shot and killed the assailant, identified as Amr Abd al-Fattah Abu Hussein by the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry. Earlier this week, two people were maimed in a stabbing attack at a checkpoint between Jerusalem and the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the West Bank. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said Thursday its medics treated a woman, later identified as a Border Police officer in her 20s, and a 25-year-old civilian security guard, at the Mazmuria checkpoint near the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Homa. Health officials said both were hospitalized and were in light-to-moderate condition. The alleged assailant, a 24-year-old East Jerusalem resident, was rubbed out by security forces at the scene, police said in a statement. According to a Times of Israel news hound who witnessed the attack, the assailant got out of a car and attacked officers guarding the checkpoint, before being shot by those he’d stabbed.
