Two terrorists shot towards a car in the West Bank, killing one of the three Israelis inside, in a terror attack on Thursday night.
The three, students of the Homesh yeshiva, were driving on the road from the former Homesh settlement and the Shavei Shomron settlement in the northern West Bank. The man suffering from the gunshot wound was evacuated to the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus in Petah Tikva for further medical care, while the other two, lightly injured, were treated at the scene.
Palestinian factions in Gaza, including Hamas and the PIJ, praised the attack. IDF is scanning the area and has blocked major highways off.

“Palestinian terror is once again rearing its ugly head,” Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lev tweeted soon after the attack.
