IDF says it killed 2 terrorists Friday night as car bombs detonate in West Bank attacks; 3 hurt

[IsraelTimes] Army investigating possible link between concurrent attacks in Gush Etzion, searching for additional suspects

The IDF said Friday night it had killed two Paleostinian Lions of Islam in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank in two separate but possibly linked attacks, which saw two suspected boom-mobiles detonate around the same time.

In the first incident, a car went kaboom! at a gas station near the Gush Etzion junction. Troops dispatched to the scene rubbed out a terrorist who had arrived in the vehicle and who attempted to attack them, the military said.

Two men were moderately and lightly maimed by gunfire amid the incident, medics said, likely as a result of friendly fire while forces shot the alleged terrorist dead.

In the second incident, a Paleostinian rammed a car through the entrance to the nearby settlement of Karmei Tzur. IDF troops shot up the attacker.

One of the members of the local security team, in his own car, crashed into the attacker and killed him. The guard himself was lightly hurt.

A short while later, the assailant’s car went kaboom! due to a bomb planted in it.

The military was investigating both attacks and their possible connection, as well as searching for additional possible suspects.

Footage posted to social media showed the moment the suspect at the gas station was shot.

The commander of the IDF’s Etzion Regional Brigade, Col. Gal Rich, was slightly maimed in the gas station incident, a military source said. Rich was hit in the arm by gunfire. He was treated by medics and was in good condition.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said it took to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem a 24-year-old in moderate condition and a 34-year-old in good condition after they were shot at the gas station.

Earlier this week the military launched counterterrorism operations in several West Bank cities, killing multiple button men. The IDF’s West Bank operations were conducted in the wake of an attempted suicide kaboom in Tel Aviv last week. The bomber, whose explosive detonated prematurely, was named by the Hamas
