“We received a report about a shooting attack near the Mehola Junction. When we arrived, we gave treatment to a fully conscious 33 year old man with wounds to his lower body, including by stopping bleeding, and we brought him to an MDA helicopter that landed at the scene,” MDA medic Mati Karmi said, according to Israel National News.

He noted the medics then received a report of another vehicle containing “an unconscious wounded man with bullet wounds.”

“Together with a military medical team, we administered aid to the second wounded man, but his wounds were critical and we were forced to confirm his death.”
