At least two Israelis are hurt by gunfire in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba near Hebron, medics say.

One of the victims is listed in serious condition, while the other is listed in light condition, according to first responders.

It is not clear if the shooting was directed toward the home of Otzma Yehudit MK Itamar Ben Gvir, as he has claimed.

The Israel Defense Forces says it is looking into the incident, without providing further details.
