2:30PM IL: According to early reports, three Israelis have been wounded by terrorist gunfire in a shooting attack near N’vei Tzuf in the Benjamin Regional Council District of Shomron.
From the limited information available, terrorists in a passing vehicle opened fire at a group of Israeli hikers in the area known as Wadi Zarka.
One of the victims is reported in serious condition with gunshot wounds to the back. The others appear in moderate condition. A military chopper is transporting them to Tel Aviv’s Tel Hashomer Hospital.
UPDATE 12:10PM EST: Recieved from the Mayor of Itamar: Dearest Friends and family – today a group of boys that learn at our Yeshiva on Itamar were hiking near a community in Shomron called Neveh Tzuf. While enjoying the beautiful hills of Shomron they were ambushed by terrorist gun fire. Three of them were injured one of them seriously who I happened to have taught for four years and am personally very close to him – right now he is undergoing surgery! Please pray for the Refuah Shelema of Avraham Meir Ben Malkah Chaya. Make sure to have him in mind on Shabbat as well. The doctors are optimistic!
Thank you all!
