The Israel Defense Forces announces that Staff Sgt. Shilo Yosef Amir, of the Givati Brigade, is the person killed in the shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Kedumim earlier today.

The IDF says Amir, 22, from the northern town of Meirav, was fatally shot by the Palestinian gunman. The Hamas terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The military barred publication that a soldier was killed in the attack until his family was notified.
