Freed hostage Omer Shem Tov's Hamas captors told him their goal is to kill all the Jews in Israel, then every non-jihadist in the world.

A short while ago, a terrorist accelerated his vehicle toward a group of IDF soldiers near Yehuda Junction. A female soldier was lightly injured and evacuated to the hospital for treatment.

The IDF has launched a manhunt for the terrorist.
