Two Israeli Men Are Attacked, and One Killed, Near Settlement in the West Bank

(19.Juni) A Palestinian man shot two Israeli men in a vehicle as they were leaving a spring near a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank on Friday, killing one and wounding another, Israel’s military said in a statement.

The shooting occurred on the second day of Ramadan. Its timing was a grim reminder of the kidnapping and killing of three Jewish teenagers last June in the West Bank, which unleashed tensions that culminated in a seven-week war between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic militant group, in Gaza.
