Iran Press/ Middle East: A military expert of the Zionist regime Kan Channel Roee Sharon described the recent shooting operations in the West Bank as "bloody", adding that the Zionist regime security establishment is fearful of the wave of Resistance acts that have spread from the northern West Bank to the southern city of Al-Khalil.
Sharon emphasized that this escalation would have a severe impact on the Zionist settlers in the area, as well as the occupation's military forces and the entire Zionist entity population.
Furthermore, Israel Hayom newspaper stressed that 2023 marks the bloodiest year since the Second Intifada which took place in the early 2000s, as 35 settlers and troops have been killed as a result of retaliatory Palestinian action since the beginning of the year.
Abishai Ben Haim, a commentator for Channel 13 said, "I believe the difficult thing is feeling helpless, and if there is something noticeable, it is the feeling of helplessness and the inability to do anything (regarding Resistance operation in occupied territories)."
A Zionist regime army reserve Brigadier General Amir Avivi confirmed that there exists a "very high-level violence" compared to previous years, noting that these operations are primarily carried out by individuals while there are in fact other operations carried out through Resistance groups.
He continued, "I heard an interesting statistic when the commander of the West Bank Division took his position, there were ten battalions of the Israeli army in the West Bank, and as of this morning, there are 23 battalions, and the number increases according to the complexity of the reality there."
Earlier in the day, the Zionist regime's Head Isaac Herzog commented on the Al-Khalil incident, describing it as "difficult and painful" for "Israelis because our enemies are using all means to strike us and harm us."
Media outlets took note of the floundering security situation in "occupied territories" as the Zionist regime military fails suffers "humiliation on the northern" front with Lebanon, as well as rocket threats from Gaza, "and a rise in operations in the West Bank."
Other media outlets cited the head of the illegal "Kiryat Arba" settlement council in Al-Khalil as calling on settlers to kill anyone who intends to kill settlers.
The Zionist media reported that occupation forces were searching for the shooters after the attack, which took place near the "Beit Hagai" junction in the southern occupied West Bank, near Al-Khalil.
The media said the settlers were shot at from a speeding car while they were driving on Highway 60, near the "Beit Hagai" junction, south of Al-Khalil.
The Zionist regime emergency services confirmed that the woman who was initially listed as in critical condition was declared dead at the scene shortly thereafter.
Medical officials also indicated that the other injured settler was transferred to Soroka Hospital for treatment, where he was listed in critical condition.
According to the initial investigation of the Zionist regime army, the settlers' car was hit by at least 22 bullets, and three other bullets were found nearby.
The investigation also added that the shooters' vehicle used to carry out the operation did not have registration plates and is believed to have fled toward Al-Khalil.
The Zionist media outlets reported that the "army" forces are conducting search operations for the shooters after the attack, which took place near the Beit Hagai junction in the southern West Bank near Al-Khalil.
