Three Israeli settlers were killed in a shooting attack near al-Funduq in the northern occupied West Bank, Israeli media outlets reported on Monday.
The spokesperson for the Shomron Regional Council confirmed a shooting attack targeting two cars and a bus on Route 55, between the village of al-Funduq and Kedumim, as per the reports.
Israeli media described the incident as a “harsh attack”, stating that two men carried out the shooting.
The media said that the shooters fled the scene in a vehicle, prompting Israeli forces to launch a search operation in the area. The car, believed to have multiple passengers, was last seen heading toward the Nablus region.
The Israeli ambulance service reported providing medical assistance to four injured settlers at the scene. However, Israeli media later updated the casualty count to six: two desperate cases, one in serious condition, two with moderate injuries, and one with minor injuries.
