A shooting attack occurred near Neveh Tzuf in the West Bank on Sunday afternoon, resulting in at least one person being wounded. The victim, a man in his 30s, is in critical condition and unconscious, receiving medical attention at the scene. Reports indicate the attacker opened fire on Israelis swimming in a spring from a red Mitsubishi SUV with Palestinian Authority license plates.
After the shooting, the suspect exited the vehicle, armed and fled on foot. The Israeli Defense Forces have initiated a manhunt for the terrorist, setting up roadblocks and closing Highway 465 to all traffic in both directions. The Binyamin Regional Brigade, the Duvdevan counterterrorism unit, Israel Police, and various other security forces are actively involved in the pursuit. Search efforts are being conducted on foot, via drones, and with other air force assets.
