One Israeli was killed and three others were wounded after a Palestinian gunman opened fire on a car in the West Bank on Friday afternoon, a military spokesman said.

The incident occurred on route 60, near the city of Hebron, when a Palestinian on a vehicle opened fire at an Israeli car, causing it to overturn, the spokesman said.

One man was killed and three others were seriously wounded, and they were all from one family, Israel's emergency medical teams said.

Israeli troops are searching the area for the shooter.

The incident was the latest in a renewed string of fatal attacks against Israelis in the West Bank and Israel.

Since Thursday, two Israelis have been killed, including a 13-year-old-girl, and five others were injured in attacks. Three Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces amidst attacks or alleged attempted attacks. Endit
