🎯 Deadly shooting attack near Kochav Ya'ir: One person was killed and at least six others were injured in a shooting attack carried out at three locations near the security barrier in the Kochav Ya'ir area.
IDF soldiers and security forces were dispatched to the areas of Sal'it and Tzur Yitzhak following reports of multiple shooting incidents. The terrorist was neutralized at the scene.
Magen David Adom said it treated two men injured at a gas station near Kochav Ya'ir, including one seriously wounded; a man and woman moderately injured near Tzur Yitzhak; and two people shot near Tzur Natan.
One of the victims near Tzur Natan, a 31-year-old man, was pronounced dead. Another man in his 40s was evacuated to a hospital in critical condition.
Police later said the terrorist was a resident of the nearby Arab city of Tayibe. Officers recovered a makeshift “Carlo” submachine gun used in the attack.
Contrary to the initial military assessment, police said only one terrorist carried out the attack. The IDF’s earlier report regarding a second attacker appears to have referred to the same terrorist.
