An IDF reservist was shot in the leg during an attempt to infiltrate the Jewish village of Adora by three Jihadists from the Arab town of Idna situated nearby.
Soldiers responded to the attackers – killing all three. According to the IDF, a reservist tasked with guarding Adora received an alert of an infiltration into the settlement’s industrial zone, and quickly reached the scene.
“When the soldier arrived to check the alert, he was hit by the terrorists’s gunfire,” the IDF said, adding that he dispatched additional forces to search for the terrorists.
The IDF said troops searched for the terrorists and after finding them in the Adora industrial zone, were able to kill all three.After the terrorists were killed, soldiers found an M16, a number of knives, a pickaxe and Molotov cocktails on their bodies.
During the incident the IDF Home Front Command ordered the residents of Adora to remain in their homes and lock their doors and windows. 12 hours later once the community was cleared of terrorists, the order was lifted.
The attack is a major escalation in Judea and Samaria where it is expected that Hamas plans on waging a war against Jewish pioneer villages.
