The Magen David Adom ambulance service announces the death of the Israeli man in his 30s who was shot and whose car overturned near the West Bank town of Bayt Lid.

“When we arrived at the scene, we saw a car upside down on its roof in the bushes on the side of the road,” says MDA medic Bentzi Landsberg.

“The driver of the car, a man in his 30s, was unconscious, without a pulse, was not breathing, and with [gunshot] wounds. We performed medical tests and after a short while we had to declare his death,” he says.

The Israel Defense Forces says it has launched a manhunt for the terrorists behind the attack, and are setting up roadblocks in the area.
