Aharon Cohen, a 65-year-old longtime resident of Kiryat Arba, was killed in a stabbing and ramming attack at the Gush Etzion Junction. The attack also left a woman in her 40s seriously wounded, and two others, a man and a teenager, moderately injured. The two attackers, from the town of Beit Ummar, were killed at the scene, and several explosive devices were found in their vehicle. The incident has prompted strong reactions from local leaders, who criticized recent international moves toward recognizing a Palestinian state, arguing that such steps embolden terrorism. Community members and officials expressed deep condolences to Cohen's family, and calls have been renewed for advancing Israeli sovereignty in the region.
