#shooting attack

Israeli security forces foiled a shooting attack on Route 60 just south of Jerusalem on Thursday morning, according to initial reports.

Eight people were reportedly injured, one critically.

Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman said that security had prevented a major terror attack. "Axes and a lot of ammunition were found in the terrorists' vehicle," Turgeman said. "They were probably planning to carry out a more significant operation in Jerusalem, but we eliminated them before they could do so."Three terrorists, reportedly from Hebron, were shot and killed by security forces, according to Israel Police, as Border Police forces and the IDF are currently scanning the area.

According to the police report, six members of the security forces and two civilians were injured and have been evacuated to the hospital for further treatment. 

An Israeli man was lightly wounded Thursday afternoon in a shooting attack near the community of Talmon in the Binyamon region.

IDF forces were dispatched to the scene. Initial reports indicate the victim was wounded from fire from a passing vehicle. The terrorists escaped the scene.

MDA said medics were treating the victim, who is lightly wounded and fully conscious.

At noon, a Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a shooting attack near one of the Temple Mount gates in Jerusalem, when a terrorist opened fire on police. The police forces responded with fire, eliminating the terrorist.
