Several of the injured are in serious condition and one of them is in critical condition.

The European Union condemns the attack
For its part, the European Union has condemned the attack, which it has described as: “terrorist” and expressed his condolences to the victims, to whom he wished a speedy recovery, and to their families.
“The European Union stands with Israel and its people at this difficult time. This violence must stop. The European Union remains determined to prevent and fight terrorism,” he said in a statement.
The place has been the scene of a peak in tensions since April, when the celebrations of Ramadan, Holy Week and Jewish Passover coincided, amid a strengthening of Israel’s security operations following the March attacks that left 15 dead.
As a result, the military has stepped up its operations in the West Bank by conducting a series of raids that have only clouded the mood and provoked a series of clashes that killed at least 30 Palestinian civilians.
