Fatality in West Bank terror shooting named as Israeli citizen from East Jerusalem
The East Jerusalem man killed in this morning’s shooting terror attack in the West Bank is named by Hebrew media as Ammar Mansour of the Beit Hanina neighborhood.
Mansour, 33, an Israeli citizen, was killed in his car on Route 465, with the IDF saying the motive was terror-related. The suspected Palestinian gunmen fled the scene and Israeli forces are searching for them.
Hebrew media say that a woman who had been in another car was injured in the attack and was taken by a Palestinian passerby to a hospital in Ramallah.
