Jerusalem: Palestine gunman opened fire on a car full of Jewish school students next to a settlement checkpoint in the West Bank on Thursday night, in which an Israeli man (Israeli) Youth) died and two others got minor injuries. Officials gave this information.
Israeli leaders called for the attacker to be caught, and the military said it had sent additional troops to the area as part of a search operation. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said, “The security forces will soon nab the terrorists and we will ensure that the punishment is given.” The incident happened near Homesh, an earlier settlement in the northern West Bank. The settlement was demolished in 2005 as part of Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

However, in recent years the people living there have built an illegal outpost. It is one of dozens of outposts in the West Bank that Israel considers illegal. Army spokesman Lt Col Amnon Scheffler said passengers in the car were fired upon after leaving a Jewish school in the checkpoint.
He said that about 10 bullets were fired at the car. He said it was not yet known whether the number of attackers was one or more and whether the attacker carried out the incident alone or was sent by an organized terrorist group. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but Hamas, the group that governs the Gaza Strip, praised the attack.
