The woman was treated by Israel's Magen David Adom EMS service before being transferred to the Meir Medical Center. A doctor at the medical center said the victim is in stable condition and will be released on Wednesday, The Jerusalem Post reports.  

The Palestinian teen was shot by an armed civilian who witnessed the attack. He is in moderate condition and is being treated at Israel's Tel Hashomer Medical Center. 

According to Army Radio, the suspected terrorist is a 19-year-old man from the West Bank Palestinian city of Tulkarm.
