| 2016-03-14 | |
| [Jpost] Three Palestinian terrorists were shot and killed during the course of two separate attempted attacks that took place within 30 minutes of each other Monday morning near the Kiryat Arba settlement located just outside of the West Bank city of Hebron. In the first incident, two suspected terrorists tried to target hitchhikers in an attempted vehicular-ramming attack at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, according to initial reports. During the incident, a Palestinian vehicle containing two armed terrorists enters Kiryat Arba, did a U-turn and came to a sudden stop. The gunmen exited their vehicle and opened fire, lightly injuring an IDF soldier. The two attackers were shot dead in IDF return fire. ...During the second attack, a Palestinian vehicle traveling from Bnei Naim rammed a bus. An IDF soldier who was near the bus narrowly escaped injury. A terrorist attempted to exit the vehicle, but soldiers on the scene shot him dead. The incident came 30 minutes after the first vehicular-ramming attack of the day. The two soldiers who were lightly wounded from shrapnel from the car ramming attack received treatment on the scene from army medics. Authorities are now trying to determine whether the attacks were coordinated by the assailants.

| #1 Ynet reports that the gunmen in the first car were armed with a "Carl Gustav" submachine gun and a pistol. In other words, their guns were locally produced, as reported in the article below this one. |
