One person was killed and another moderately injured Thursday night after being fired upon while traveling from Kfar Anata to Mishor Adumim near Ma'ale Adumim, according to the Magen David Adom Spokesperson.
MDA Jerusalem crews pronounced the death of a 25-year-old man and treated another 27-year-old in moderate condition who was shot in the jaw as they arrived at the entrance to Maale Adumim. The man was evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem in Jerusalem.
