Six people have just been injured in a drive-by terror shooting attack at the Ofra junction in the Binyamin region. One of the seriously injured is a young pregnant woman. The public is being asked to pray for her immediate recovery. Please have her name in your prayers. Her name is Shira bat Liora.

UPDATE: Doctors just delivered the baby of the woman seriously wounded in tonight’s terror attack. Initial reports are that the baby is stable. The baby was delivered 10 weeks early. The mother is fighting for her life, please pray.

To pray for the baby – Tinok ben Shira Yael (or Tinoket bat Shira Yael)…don’t know if the baby was a boy or a girl…will try to see if anyone knows.

A security camera at the Ofra Junction, north of Jerusalem, captured footage from the shooting attack. The security guard is pointing out the white car that slows down to shoot and then speeds up and drives away.
