The 2005 Gush Etzion Junction shooting was a drive-by shooting attack on October 16, 2005, at the Gush Etzion Junction in Gush Etzion, in which three Israelis were killed and three others were injured.[1][2]
The attack was carried out by a cell of Hamas militants called the "Hebron Cell",[3] a group of militants from the city of Hebron who murdered six Israelis in various attacks in the area.[4] The three cell members who carried out the murders were each sentenced to four life sentences, but were released in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange.[5]
