Seven injured in terror attack near Ofra

Seven people including a pregnant woman were injured in a drive-by Palestinian shooting attack outside the Ofra settlement in the West Bank, according to Magen David Adom.

According to initial reports, the pregnant woman was seriously wounded and her husband lightly injured. The couple is from Elon Moreh.

The shooter shot at a hitchhiking station and bus stop on Route 60 from a car that immediately fled the scene, according to the IDF.

Soldiers at the scene shot at the car, which still managed to get away. The army was searching for the vehicle at press time.

Of the remaining victims, two were moderately injured and four were lightly wounded, including two 16-year-old girls, according to Magen David Adom.

The wounded were transferred to Jerusalem

hospitals – Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah Medical Center at Mount Scopus.

MK Bezalel Smotrich (Bayit Yehudi) immediately attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who also holds the post of defense minister – for failing to ensure security for the residents of Judea and Samaria.

“Another day, another terror attack,” Smotrich said. “Mr. Prime Minister, until today you had someone to blame for the lack of security. Now, the excuses are over. Go into a room with the defense minister and provide security. It’s your job and your responsibility to do so. Israeli lives are not a game.” •
