A man who was critically wounded in the shooting attack on the Route 4 highway died of his injuries on the way to the hospital, medical officials say.

Four more people were hurt in the attack that took place near the Yavne Interchange, north of Ashdod — one moderately and the others lightly. One of those lightly hurt is a doctor who stopped his car to treat the injured and was hit by another car.

Police are scanning the area to rule out the presence of a second attacker.
