Name of this event

The Jerusalem Post article cited in the sources calls this event the "Hebron Hills shooting", which seems a far more recognizable and precise title than "Route 60", which could be almost anywhere in the world. The description in the lead that this is "The shooting attack at the Sheep Junction" appears to be a direct translation of the place name from Hebrew. However, most English language sources do not translate place names literally, instead they will often transliterate a place name into English, or give it an English sounding version and spelling of the original name from another language, or else use a totally different English derived place name. Consequently, this article needs to be renamed to meet the criteria for naming English language articles. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
