A young woman was killed and two others were injured in a stabbing attack in the West Bank.
The Nov. 10 attack occurred at the Alon Shvut junction in the Gush Etzion bloc of settlements, where the three Israelis were waiting for rides.
The dead woman was identified as Dalia Lemkos from the West Bank settlement of Tekoa. The others suffered light stab wounds.
Lemkos, who was 26, also was stabbed in a terror attack in Gush Etzion in 2006.
The assailant was shot by a guard at the entrance to the Alon Shvut settlement. He was being treated in a Jerusalem hospital.
He has been identified as Maher Hamdi Hashalamun, 30, of Hebron. He reportedly is affiliated with the terror organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The attack took place at the same junction where three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped in June. The teens were found dead nearly three weeks later near Hebron.
Earlier that day, a Palestinian man allegedly stabbed an Israeli soldier outside a Tel Aviv train station. The soldier, Almog Shiloni, 20, died at the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer hours after he was brought in with multiple stab wounds to his chest and heart.
His alleged assailant, identified as Nur al-Din Abu Hashyaa, 18, from the West Bank city of Nablus, is in police custody. He had entered Israel illegally, according to Israel Police. — jta
