One person killed, five injured in shooting incidents in Israel.

At least one person was killed and five others wounded in a series of shooting attacks in Israel on Sunday, authorities said, with one of the attackers also killed.

Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom reported that a man about 35 years old died from gunshot wounds.

The service also said it provided medical treatment and transported five injured people to hospitals. Two of the wounded were in serious condition and three were in moderate condition, all suffering penetrating injuries.

Police said they had located a vehicle suspected of involvement and killed a suspect believed to be responsible near the town of Kokhav Yair, a few kilometres from the occupied West Bank.

Rescuers said the attacks also occurred in the nearby towns of Tzur Natan and Tzur Yitzhak.

Israel’s military told AFP that one perpetrator had been killed and that a search was ongoing for a second.

The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it had “held a situational assessment and is monitoring the deadly shooting attack.”

Far‑right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on X that “if the terrorist is caught alive — he will be executed.” He was referring to a recently approved Israeli law that imposes the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of terror charges for deadly anti‑Israeli attacks.

“Jewish blood is not cheap. Whoever murders a Jew will see the hangman’s noose,” Ben Gvir said.
