At least three people were injured in a double terrorist attack in Gush Etzion on Friday evening.

The first incident took place around 11:35 p.m., when a vehicle exploded at a gas station in the Gush Etzion Junction. Following the explosion, a terrorist emerged from the vehicle and attempted to attack security forces who had responded to the scene. The assailant was neutralized, but not before injuring two people.

Moments later, a second terrorist arrived at the entrance to the community of Carmei Tzur in a vehicle, where he attempted to run over the security guard stationed there, causing minor injuries. Security forces quickly responded and eliminated the attacker. Extensive searches are now underway in Carmei Tzur amid fears that another terrorist may still be at large. Residents have been advised to stay indoors.

The vehicle driven by the terrorist in Carmei Tzur also contained an explosive device, which detonated, setting the car ablaze. Magen David Adom reported that two individuals were injured in the gas station attack at the Gush Etzion Junction: a 24-year-old man in moderate condition and a 34-year-old man in light condition. Both were transported by paramedics to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
