An Israeli civilian critically wounded in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley has died, first responders say.
The IDF says a large number of troops have been sent to the site of the shooting attack, and have begun a pursuit after the terrorists.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service earlier said that it was treating two victims near the Mehola Junction.
According to MDA, one of the victims, in his 20s, was in critical condition. He was pronounced dead not long after.
The second victim, aged 33, is in moderate condition.
Both of the victims, motorists, were separately shot from a passing vehicle.
