A shooting attack took place near the Hamra Junction on Wednesday, reports said. A 32-year-old woman is lightly injured and was evacuated to Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center.
Israeli security forces are searching the area for the perpetrators, who fled the scene.
Hadassah Mount Scopus updated that the victim arrived at the hospital's trauma center fully conscious and in light condition with shrapnel wounds on her face.
The woman was traveling with her husband and their two children, ages six and nine, when a terrorist opened fire at them from a passing vehicle. Marks from six bullets were identified on the family's vehicle.
Rafael, the father, told Kan Reshet Bet: "We were returning from a vacation in the north, and suddenly I noticed a vehicle with Palestinian license plates starting to turn around on the road, and it made a suspicious movement. I stopped 20 meters ahead, and the vehicle returned to its lane and began moving towards me. Two meters away from us, he crossed the line, blocked me, and the traveler exited with an M-16 weapon and began firing."
"My wife shouted, 'It's a terror attack, go into reverse, escape!' and the terrorists' vehicle drove straight towards Shechem."
