Both terrorists who carried out the shooting attack in the Kochav Ya’ir area were killed by security forces, according to the military.
One of the terrorists was shot dead by police near Tzur Yitzhak, while the second was wounded and fled. Following a manhunt, the second terrorist was killed near Tayibe, the IDF says.
The terrorists used a vehicle with Israeli license plates that was illegally on the road, according to the army.
The IDF says it is encircling several Palestinian villages in the area, and has closed off the nearby West Bank crossing.
