Israeli women injured, one critically, in stabbing attack; terrorists killed

Two Palestinian terrorists infiltrated into the Israeli community of Beit Horon and entered a small market where they stabbed two women on Monday afternoon. One of the women was critically injured and the other sustained moderate injuries. A security guard opened fire on the terrorists and killed them. A bomb squad defused three pipe bombs left behind by the terrorists. The incident in Beit Horon, located on Route 443 between Modi'in and Jerusalem, marked the latest infiltration by Palestinian terrorists into an Israeli community following attacks in Tekoa and Otniel earlier this month.
