A 23-year-old injured in a knife attack at a market in the West Bank settlement of Beit Horon on Monday has died of her wounds.

Shlomit Krigman arrived at Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem in a critical condition but deteriorated overnight and died in the early hours of Tuesday morning, according to a statement from the hospital. She would have turned 24 next week.

Another woman in her 50s was also injured in the attack, but only lightly.

Both assailants - identified as Ibrahim Al’an, 23, from the West Bank Palestinian village of Beit Ur al-Tahta, and Hassin Abu Gush, 17, from the Qalandiya refugee camp near Jerusalem - were shot and killed by a security guard as they attempted to flee the scene.

Police searching the area found three pipe bombs left behind by the attackers, and officials said that the devices were improvised bombs, pointing to a well-planned attack.

A statement from the Beit Horon community described Miss Krigman as “loved and well-known.

“She did her National Service with Bnei Akiva in Beit Horon. During the last year, Shlomit lived with her grandfather and grandmother in the community."

Her funeral will take place on Tuesday at Jerusalem's Har Hamenuhot Cemetery.

The terror attack was the third in just over a week to take place inside a settlement.
