A shooting at Yehuda Junction in the Hebron Hills on Friday morning killed two IDF soldiers and wounded three other people, according to the Judea and Samaria Situation Room and JNS. The Situation Room said the attack took place at 7:14 a.m. on October 23 and that two Arab attackers were killed.
JNS independently reported that two soldiers were killed and three other people wounded near the junction. The Situation Room named Ofer Ohana, a medic who had himself been seriously wounded in an earlier terror attack in Hebron, among the first responders to treat the injured. Its post credited Hatzalah Without Borders – Judea and Samaria for video from the scene.

Ohana's presence as a responder is a notable detail in the Situation Room account: he arrived to help despite having previously suffered serious injuries in a terror attack in Hebron. No further information about his condition or the treatment provided at the scene was included.
Security and reporting
Israeli communities and travelers in Judea and Samaria face the direct threat of shootings, as this attack demonstrates. The response reported here was that both attackers were killed; the supplied material does not describe any additional IDF operation or official statement. There is no basis in these reports to link the event to the “settler violence” narrative.
Attribution remains important even when sources agree on the central facts. The Situation Room gives the time and immediate response; JNS corroborates the death toll among soldiers and injuries. The sources describe the victims as soldiers and other people, and the attackers as terrorists. No court process or further investigation findings are cited.
The shooting left two soldiers dead and three people wounded. The Situation Room and JNS place the attack at Yehuda Junction in the Hebron area and report that two attackers were killed. Information about the victims' identities and the circumstances of the engagement was not provided in the cited reports.
