Five Wounded, One Gravely, In Two Terrorist Attacks Thursday, 24 Tammuz
In the first of this morning's two attacks, which occurred within two hours of each other, terrorists dressed as Israeli soldiers shot and wounded three members of the Shmuelyan family.
Standing on the road leading from the Shomron community of Har Bracha, the costumed Arabs signaled the approaching car to stop, then opened fire from near point-blank range.
Miraculously, no one was killed, but 25-year-old Erez Shmuelyan is listed in moderate condition, and his wife Ilanit and one-year-old son, Elisha, were hurt lightly-to-moderately.
Erez was flown by helicopter to Tel HaShomer hospital in Tel Aviv, while the others were driven there by ambulance. Both parents were hit by shrapnel in the head, and the mother's hand was hit while it was protecting her baby's head.
This was the second such attack there in ten days; Avi Romano was seriously wounded in the last attempted murder, but he has since been released from hospital, albeit with limited use of one arm. The site of attack is only 100 meters from Area A, area under total Palestinian control to which the terrorists escaped.
