The gunfire badly wounded a teenage boy and man in his 40s, and lightly injured two children, boys ages nine and 14. They had been traveling by car on Route 60, near Shoket Junction in southern Israel.
Paramedics are taking the four wounded to Soroka University Medical Center in Beersheba for further treatment, the Magen David Adom emergency service says.
Police forces are operating at the scene and its surroundings in order to track down the gunmen. No suspects have yet been arrested.
