The IDF says it has received reports of an apparent Palestinian terrorist who opened fire in the West Bank settlement of Karmei Tzur.

One suspect was “neutralized” at the scene, but the incident is still ongoing, the IDF says.

A suspected terrorist infiltration siren is sounding in Karmei Tzur amid the incident.

Shortly before the shooting, local authorities reported that a car exploded at a nearby gas station.

It is unclear if the incidents are connected.
