The Israel Defense Forces says troops have shot the suspected Palestinian terrorist who opened fire at an Israeli family driving through the West Bank town of Huwara earlier.

In a brief statement, the IDF says the suspect has been “neutralized,” and that it will provide further details later.

Earlier, the gunman shot at an Israeli family on the Route 60 highway, before fleeing the scene. The parents, aged 25, and their baby were unharmed.
