A terrorist attacked a neighborhood in the Hebron district where MK Itamar ben-Gvir lives, leaving one person murdered:

One Israeli was killed and three others were injured after a terrorist opened fire at Israeli civilians and security forces at a checkpoint in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, near the home of Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben-Gvir on Saturday night, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.

A Magen David Adom medic was seriously injured in the attack and was being treated at Shaare Tzedek Medical Center. Two others in light condition were being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center. A 37-year-old Palestinian was also injured and was evacuated by Israeli forces to be treated in the Palestinian Authority.

A large force from the Israel Police and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) arrived at the scene, Maariv reported. The assailant was killed by a civil security officer, the IDF said, with scans ongoing to determine whether more terrorists were involved in the attack.

MDA medic Yisrael Lior, who was present at the scene of the attack, stated on Saturday night that he arrived with another medic to the scene at the Ashmoret checkpoint in Hebron and saw a man who had been shot in a car. "While I was running to get medical equipment, I heard the medic I was with shout "I'm injured. [They're] shooting at me,'" said Lior. "We took cover and while I was providing life-saving treatment to the medic I was with, we called in additional forces and after they arrived, we evacuated the injured person from the vehicle and the medic I was with to the hospital."

Terrorist reportedly affiliated with Hamas

Muhammad al-Jabari was named as the terrorist who carried out the attack. A group calling itself Aswad al-Haq and claiming to be a part of Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades announced that al-Jabari was a member of the group but that the attack had not been carried out under commands from the group. The Aswad al-Haq group was reportedly established just last week.

Yair Lapid has some responsibility to shoulder for this. But let's not forget Naftali Bennett does too. They really made bad situations worse.
