Two Israeli teenagers were injured, one seriously, when a Palestinian terrorist rammed them with his vehicle at the Gush Etzion Junction in Judea on Sunday evening. A 17-year-old girl was in serious condition with lower-body injuries, while a 15-year-old girl sustained moderate facial wounds.
The Israel Defense Forces announced that a soldier “neutralized the terrorist at the scene within a short time.” His condition was not immediately clear.
Yisrael Ganz, head of the Binyamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council umbrella group of Jewish communities, said the attack “reminds the world that the real threat in Judea and Samaria is subhuman individuals who deliberately target young girls and innocent civilians.”

This attack is another stark reminder of the ongoing security threat facing Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria. The victims—two teenage girls waiting near a bus stop—were deliberately targeted in a terrorist car-ramming attack, underscoring the vulnerability of everyday Israelis to acts of terror. The appropriate response to such attacks is to strengthen Israel’s security presence and reinforce Jewish development of communities and sovereignty throughout Judea and Samaria, rather than make concessions that could endanger Israeli lives.
