Two people have been killed in the terror shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Eli, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
MDA director Eli Bin tells Army Radio that both victims were declared dead at the scene.
The male victims are in their 20s and 40s, respectively, per MDA.
The two were in a car at the gas station outside the settlement when the gunman approached and opened fire, according to reports. Medics scanned the area for potential additional victims.
The IDF says one terrorist involved in the deadly attack was shot dead by security forces.
“The troops are blocking roads and conducting a pursuit after additional suspects in the area,” the IDF adds. No additional suspects were found.
Suspected infiltration alarms sounded in Eli following the terror attack, amid fears of additional gunmen in the area.
The attack took place at a gas station near Eli, the location of a deadly terror assault last summer, in which four Israelis were killed.
