Two shootings took place in the Samaria region. One dead is reported. Two more are in serious condition. IDF forces are in pursuit of the killer.
Early reports say that the terrorist stabbed his first victim and stole his weapon, shot him and fled.
The same attacker then stole a car, traveled to nearby Giti junction, and opened fire.
Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated two of the victims to Beilinson Hospital, including a 35-year-old man and a 20-year-old man.
Ram Shagai, deputy director of Beilinson Hospital, said one of the wounded is in very serious condition and the other in critical condition. “We are fighting for their lives,” he said.
Emergency medical technician MDA Hananel Hess recounted that when he was passing through the Ariel intersection he noticed a commotion.
“I saw soldiers running and I heard shooting. I realized that something was going on and alerted MDA forces. When the shooting stopped, I saw a young man of about 20 lying unconscious with gunshot wounds to his upper body.”
The terrorist fled the scene of the attack, and massive forces, including a helicopter, were deployed to capture the terrorist.
The Samaria Regional Council together with the defense establishment decided to close the gates of the Barkan Industrial Park and the entrances to Israeli communities in the area.
