Two Israeli settlers were killed in a shooting attack near Huwara, south of Nablus.
Israeli media had confirmed, before confirming their death, that “the two injured in the Huwara operation are Israelis, and their condition is hopeless.”
Israeli media reported that preliminary investigations showed that the shooting attack in Huwara was carried out by a speeding car.
Israeli media Walla!‘s military correspondent, Amir Bohbot, quoted an Israeli security official saying that the shooting “was very precise.”
For its part, the Israeli channel Kan TV reported that two Palestinians carried out the operation, one of whom opened fire, while the other was driving the vehicle.
