A horrific terror attack struck the Al-Hadar Junction near Gush Etzion on Wednesday, claiming the life of a young boy.
12-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia was critically wounded in the shooting and rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital by MDA medics. Sadly, despite extensive efforts to save him, Tuvia succumbed to his injuries. A 40-year-old woman also suffered gunshot wounds and was evacuated for treatment.
The IDF launched a manhunt for the attacker, who fled towards Hebron. The scene remained tense, with the checkpoint near the attack closed to traffic.
This tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing violence in the region. Our deepest condolences go out to Yehoshua’s family during this unimaginable time. (288 words)
