A Palestinian gunman was shot dead by troops in the West Bank city of Qalqilya, not long after the IDF received reports of an Israeli man wounded by gunfire in the area, according to military sources.
The Israeli man was wounded near a car repair store. The military also received reports of two Palestinians wounded in the same area, although the circumstances of their injury is unclear.
The IDF is investigating if the gunman whom troops killed carried out the attack in which the Israeli was wounded.
Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba says the man in his 60s wounded in the shooting in Qalqilya is in moderate condition.
