The first two victims of the West Bank shooting attack are named as Harel Masood, 21, from the community of Yad Binyamin in southern Israel, and Elisha Anteman, 17, from Eli.
“There are no words to describe the shock and the pain,” says a statement from the Soreq regional council, where Masood lived.
Anteman was a 12th-grade student at the Bnei Akiva yeshiva high school, according to a brief statement by the Eli community that expressed condolences to his family.

The school said it was opening for students to gather and would be providing counseling services.
