IDF SPOKESPERSON'S UPDATE

Three Israeli Civilians Wounded, One Severely, in Palestinian Terror Attack
near Halamish

Three Israeli civilians were shot and wounded, severely, moderately and
lightly, while hiking near the Israeli community of Halamish, in Judea and
Samaria region. The wounded were initially treated on location and later
evacuated by helicopter for further medical treatment in a hospital.

An IDF force that arrived at the location searched the area and rescued the
wounded. The rescue process was complicated due to the difficult terrain,
which limited vehicle access.

Two Israeli civilians were killed on April 25th, 2008 in another shooting
attack in the region, when a Palestinian terrorist opened fire from a short
range at Israeli guards securing the Nitzanei Oz industrial center, west of
Tulkarm, which employs hundreds of Palestinian workers.
