Iran Press/ Middle East: Four people were confirmed dead and four others were wounded on Tuesday in the attack near the illegal Eli settlement, in the northern West Bank, the Magen David Adom emergency services said in a statement.
One of the gunmen was shot dead and Israeli forces are searching for a second, Israel’s Channel 12 News reported. Palestinian officials did not immediately confirm his death.
Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan, reporting from Jerusalem, confirmed the attack. “Suspects opened fire into a gas station” near the entrance of the Eli settlement between Ramallah and Nablus, he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an “urgent security consultation,” Khan said.
His far-right allies have been calling for a large-scale operation on the west bank.
