An IDF soldier was fired upon by Arab Terrorists and critically wounded in Hebron on Sunday evening.

Arab snipers fired on a military position, one soldier was hit in the neck and is in critical condition. The shooting was exactly where the baby, Shalhevet Pas, was killed years ago by an Arab sniper.

The soldier was airlifted to Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem.

The Hebron area is currently under complete lockdown and large security forces have gathered at the scene. Searches are underway for the attackers.

This attack takes place during the traditional Sukkot celebrations currently underway in Hebron.
