Two Arabs from the same family in Hebron (in Judea) took an assault rifle and pistol set out to kill dozens of Jewish civilians this morning. When they were faced with an IDF checkpoint on their way out of the city at 7:30 am, they pulled over, took cover behind buildings, and launched a 20 minute shootout towards the checkpoint. Two Israelis were critically wounded, three are in light or moderate condition. The Arab assailants died.
This is why Israel sets up checkpoints.
