At least 10 soldiers injured in West Bank shooting attack, terrorist eliminated

Terrorist opened fire toward forces near the Tayasir checkpoint, prompting the troops to engage before neutralizing him; two wounded in critical condition

A terrorist opened fire at the Tayasir checkpoint in the West Bank on Tuesday, injuring at least 10 Israelis, with two receiving moderate wounds and two others in critical condition according to the Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported that the attack targeted soldiers stationed in the area who engaged the terrorist in a several-minute-long shootout before he was neutralized.
Footage of the shooting
The terrorist, who wore a military vest, opened fire on troops from relatively close range, raising questions in the IDF about how he got so close and whether he entered the small military compound housing the IDF post. Firefights took place within the compound. A drone tracked the terrorist from the air before he was taken down.
Medical teams and additional forces were rushed to the area, nearby roads were blocked and the wounded were evacuated to hospitals by helicopter.
