Two Zionist settlers were shot and killed in the West Bank Sunday, local settler leader Yossi Dagan said, calling it “an extremely serious" attack.

Iran PressMiddle East: The Israeli regime's military said earlier that a resistance fighter "arrived to the Einbus junction and opened fire towards an Israeli vehicle.”

Two Zionists were wounded and taken to a hospital, the Zionist regime's military said, adding that it was pursuing the attacker.

The Magen David Adom medical agency and settler leader Dagan later said both had died.

Another local settler leader said he was present when the two were shot.

“The shooting took place right behind me. It looked terrible – the shooting was from point-blank range,” said Shai Alon, the head of Beit El council, adding that Israel needed to “go to war against those who wish us harm.”

The incident took place in Huwara, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, days after a massive Israeli regime's military raid into Nablus in search of wanted resistance fighters left at least 11 Palestinians dead.

Lion’s Den, a Palestinian resistance group that emerged in Nablus last year, claimed six of Wednesday’s dead as members and vowed revenge.
