Noam Anisfeld, a 36-year-old resident of Carmi Tzur, was moderately injured this evening (Monday) in a stabbing attack that occurred at the Gush Etzion intersection on Highway 60. Rescue forces, with the assistance of IDF medical forces, provided medical treatment to the injured man and evacuated him to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. The Palestinian terrorist who carried out the attack was shot by fighters from the Shaked Battalion of the Givati ​​Brigade, was injured and evacuated to the hospital. The terrorist, Fatma Shahin, a 33-year-old Palestinian from the Dheisha refugee camp, is married and a mother of one. She apparently arrived at the Gush intersection in a taxi, walked to the nearby tramway and stabbed the Israeli. The man injured in the attack is being taken to the trauma unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. He suffers from a stab wound to the upper body. Statement from the spokeswoman for the settlement of Carmi Tzur: Today at approximately 7:15 PM, a stabbing attack occurred at the bus stop at the Gush Etzion intersection. The victim was Noam Anisfeld, a 36-year-old resident of Karmi Tzur who was waiting at the stop for a bus to take him home, where his wife and three children were waiting for him. Noam was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in moderate condition, where he is currently undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. We pray for his speedy recovery. The situation in which a person is brutally stabbed at the end of his workday on his way to his family is unacceptable. We believe that the IDF and the Israeli government will do everything necessary to prevent such incidents from recurring at all costs. We thank the soldiers of the Shaked Battalion for neutralizing the terrorist. There is no doubt that this attack is the result of ongoing and wild incitement, for which the leaders of the Palestinian Authority and the terrorist organizations are responsible, and we demand that the government fight incitement without compromise.
