IDF says 3 Palestinian gunmen from Jenin area carried out deadly West Bank terror attack

The IDF says three Palestinian gunmen from the Jenin area in the northern West Bank carried out this morning’s deadly terror shooting attack in the village of al-Funduq.

According to an initial IDF probe the terrorists, armed with assault rifles, first opened fire at a civilian car from a close range, killing two women in their 60s. Then, the gunmen fired at a bus further away, injuring eight people.

As the terrorists were shooting at the bus, an armed civilian opened fire with a handgun at the gunmen, causing them to get back in their car and flee.

While the terrorists were fleeing, they opened fire on another car, killing a police officer in his 40s, according to the IDF’s investigation.

The military says two of the gunmen are known to the defense establishment and have been wanted for involvement in terror activity, while the third is still unidentified. A manhunt is underway.
