IDF seals off al-Bireh as manhunt launched for Ofra shooters
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian town of al-Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah, is sealed off in the wake of a shooting attack nearby, the official Palestinian Authority news site Wafa reports.
The IDF launched a manhunt in the central West Bank area to locate the perpetrators, who escaped after opening fire on a group of people waiting at a bus stop outside the settlement of Ofra.
Five people were injured in the attack, including a pregnant woman who sustained critical injuries from gunshot wounds to her upper body. Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek hospital says the woman who is 21 weeks pregnant is unconscious and on a ventilator.
