The IDF confirms that the Palestinian gunman who shot and wounded an Israeli man and two Palestinians in the West Bank city of Qalqilya this evening was killed by troops.
The terrorist opened fire at an Israeli man near a car repair shop in the city, wounding him seriously. Another two Palestinians next to him were also wounded, according to the military, although their conditions are not known.
Troops then launched a pursuit after the terrorist, killing him a short while later just outside Qalqilya, the IDF says.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry names the gunman as Tariq Daoud, 18. It says his body is being held by Israeli authorities.
