Palestinian terrorism in the last 24 hours . . .
There has been an explosion of terror in the last day:
A carload of Palestinian terrorists carried out a drive-by shooting attack near the Tapuach Junction at 5:54 this afternoon. Three Israeli men (all in their 20s) were wounded: one critically, one seriously, and one lightly. The terrorists escaped.
A stabbing attack has been reported at the Mesmoria Checkpoint. No further information is available at this time.
There was a terror attack at the Gush Etzion Junction today. A Palestinian woman carrying a knife in one hand and a bag full of an unknown object approached a group of soldiers who ordered her to stop. When she refused, she was shot; her condition is not known at this hour. You can witness the incident here (most of the shots you hear are those of the soldiers shooting in the air).
Balloon explosives are once again being launched out of Gaza into southern Israel. The first fire of the season occurred at Ein HaBesor today.
