A 20-year-old and a 38-year-old man were seriously injured by gunfire, rescue service Magen David Adom reported Tuesday. They were taken to hospitals. Four other victims are being treated at the scene. According to the Israeli army, the incident happened near a gas station in the settlement of Eli. The alleged attacker was “neutralized” on the spot. It was initially unclear whether he was killed. Soldiers therefore went looking for other suspects.
The security situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has long been tense. Since the beginning of the year, 129 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military operations, violent clashes or after their own attacks. In the same period, 18 Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian were killed in attacks.
Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War. The Palestinians claim the areas for their own state.
