The northern town of Hawara was the scene of a deadly rampage earlier this year in which Israeli settlers set dozens of homes and cars on fire and left one Palestinian dead after a Palestinian militant attack killed two Israeli brothers. In the northern village of Luban e-Sharkiyaa, footage showed a partly scorched gas station and trashed convenience store. Videos shared online showed giant fires tearing through the countryside.Īlthough the scale of damage remained unclear, photos circulated overnight showing charred cars and smashed windshields across the Nablus governorate. Dozens of Palestinians were attacked and wounded by rocks throughout the Nablus governorate, he said, including a Palestinian journalist struck in the face. A few settlers opened fire at Palestinians who had ventured out of their homes to confront them, said Daghlas. Hours after the attack, Israeli settlers streamed through Palestinian towns, trying to torch property and smashing cars with stones. “Revolutionaries in the West Bank are striking everywhere, and specifically where (Israel) does not expect it,” said Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem, describing the shooting as a “reaction to the crimes of the occupation in the Jenin camp.” The Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad praised the attack as a response to Monday’s deadly military raid. Palestinian health officials identified the man as 24-year-old Khaled Sabah. The second assailant fled the gas station in a stolen Toyota.Īfter an hourslong manhunt, Israeli security forces caught him in the West Bank town of Tubas, shooting and killing him when he tried to run out of his car. Hamas identified him as 26-year-old Mohannad Faleh. They first burst into a hummus restaurant, shooting and killing three people, the army said, before heading out to the gas station and killing another person who was pumping gas into his car.Ī civilian bystander shot one of the assailants repeatedly, killing him.
The men went on a rampage at a gas station next to the Israeli settlement of Eli, the Israeli military said, north of the Palestinian city of Ramallah. Daniel Hagari said the two Palestinian gunmen, both affiliated with the Hamas militant group, drove to the shooting scene from the Palestinian village of Urif in the northern West Bank. They reportedly ranged in age from 17 to 60. The Israeli military said all of the victims were Israeli citizens, and local media described three of the victims as residents of West Bank settlements while the fourth came from central Israel. “We will continue to fight terror with all our might.” “I want to tell all those who seek to harm us - all options are open,” he said in a video statement.
