An Israeli man was killed and his wife was severely wounded today (July 1, 2016) in a shooting attack near a West Bank settlement, according to the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website.
The attack near Beit Hagai took place as the family traveled in their car on Route 60, Army Radio reported. Two of the family's children were wounded: a 15-year-old boy, Pedayah, who sustained moderate wounds and his 13-year-old sister, Tehilah, who was lightly wounded.
The man was identified as as Michi Mark, a man in his 40s from the West Bank settlement of Otniel, situated eight miles southwest of Hebron. His wife, Havah, was shot in her head and is not conscious.
Individuals with a car with Palestinian license plates overtook Mark's vehicle and opened fire with automatic weapons, authorities said. Israel Defense Forces troops -- who are searching the area in a massive manhunt for the shooters -- discovered 19 bullet casings at the scene of the attack.
