Two Israelis killed by suspected Palestinian gunman

Two Israelis have been shot dead south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank by a suspected Palestinian gunman.

Israel’s ambulance service said a 60-year-old man and his 29-year-old son were shot in the Palestinian village of Huwara. Paramedics said the two people were targeted inside a carwash.

“Both were unconscious and had sustained gunshot wounds to their bodies,” a spokesperson for the ambulance service said.

The Israeli army spokesperson for Arabic media, Avichay Adraee, confirmed two Israelis had been killed.

Israel’s Prime Minister condemned the shooting, saying that “security forces are redoubling their efforts to apprehend the murderer and settle accounts with him, just as we have done with all murderers until now”.

Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou said the attack was the “result of the resistance’s continuous promise to defend our people and respond to the crimes of the occupation”.
