One of the two people killed earlier today in a terror shooting outside the West Bank settlement of Eli has been named as Yitzhak Zeiger, 57, a father of three and a resident of Shavei Shomron in the West Bank.
Zeiger stopped at the gas station outside Eli to gas up his vehicle when a Palestinian gunman, later identified as a member of the PA security forces, opened fire at the car, killing the passenger, a man in his 20s who has not yet been named. Zeiger reached for his weapon but was killed before he could discharge it, according to a statement by the Binyamin Regional Council.
The statement says Zeiger volunteered for years with paramedic and rescue services organizations.
