Israel National News has reported tonight (Thursday) that an Israeli woman was killed in a vehicle-ramming attack in Israel’s Samaria district:
A young woman in her 20s was murdered in a ramming terrorist attack that took place Thursday night near Havat Gilad in Samaria. Magen David Adom paramedics attempted to resuscitate the victim, but were forced to declare her death. The assailant fled the scene. IDF forces began searching the area. In January, Rabbi Raziel Shevach of Havat Gilad was murdered in a drive-by shooting attack.
We hope they’re wrong about her condition. Times of Israel describes the victim as being alive but in a very bad way. A MaarivOnline tweet says the attack happened at 9:32 pm tonight.
We wrote about how six more Israeli children – Renana, 10; Naomi, 8; Miriam, 6; Malka, 5; Ovadia, 3; and Benayahu, 10 months – all from Havat Gil’ad, became orphans in that January 2018 vehicle ramming at the same spot as tonight’s – see “10-Jan-18: Hamas praises a murderous drive-by shooting that orphans six young Israeli children“. The attacker was eliminated in a shoot-out with Israeli security forces a few weeks after that ramming murder.
Sorry to say, Ynet says tonight’s Israeli victim has died. It adds
“The driver fled the scene, with the IDF suspected he escaped to the nearby Palestinian village of Jit.”
More information when we have it.
