November 8, 2015
Four Israelis were wounded, two of them seriously, in a car-ramming terror attack at Tapuah Junction in the West Bank Sunday morning.
A group of Israelis was waiting for a bus at the site. The driver approached the intersection, then accelerated into the waiting crowd, according to witnesses and police.
The wounded were all evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
The Magen David Adom rescue service confirmed that the victims were all civilians.
The driver, identified by authorities as 22-year-old Sleiman Shahin from Ramallah, was shot and killed by Border Police forces at the junction.
“We saw the wounded lying on the sidewalk near the bus stop,” MDA medics Gil Bismuth and Aviel Mamalya, who were among the first on the scene, said in a statement.
“They were fully conscious and suffering from wounds to their extremities. We performed emergency medical care and evacuated them to hospital. The attacker’s car was nearby, with the driver inside, hurt and neutralized,” they said.
The two Israelis who were seriously injured were men in their 20s. They were hospitalized in stable condition.
