In a second shooting attack in the West Bank within hours, an Israeli family came under fire while driving near the Palestinian town of Qusra, medics and local officials say.
According to the Rescuers Without Borders emergency service and local security officials, the car driving between Qusra and the settlement of Migdalim was hit with at least four bullets.
The gunmen, who fired from a passing vehicle, fled the scene.
The service said the driver, a young woman, was very lightly hurt after being scratched in the hand, apparently by glass shrapnel.
The attack came hours after Palestinian gunmen killed a dual Israeli-American citizen and opened fire on a number of other cars near the West Bank city of Jericho.
Responsibly covering this tumultuous time
As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
