The Palestinian gunmen who carried out the terror attack at a gas station near the West Bank settlement of Eli arrived by car and first targeted an adjacent restaurant, according to the army’s initial investigation.

After opening fire at people eating at the Hummus Eliyahu restaurant, the gunmen targeted people at the gas station.

At one point an armed civilian shot dead one of the terrorists, while a second terrorist apparently stole a running vehicle and fled the area.

“IDF soldiers are pursuing additional suspects and roadblocks have been set up in the area,” the military says in a statement.
