Three Israelis are hurt in the shooting attack near Hebron, medics say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says its medics are taking to a hospital a man in his 50s who is listed in serious condition, another man in his 50s listed in moderate condition, and a third man in his 30s listed in good condition.

MDA adds that a Palestinian man, 37, also hurt lightly injured in the attack, will be taken by Red Crescent to a West Bank hospital.

The Israel Defense Forces says an alleged Palestinian assailant was shot by a civilian security guard.

“IDF forces have begun searching the area for additional suspects,” the military adds.
