Israeli forces say the shooting was not directed toward Itamar Ben-Gvir's house, as was originally thought
One person was killed and four were wounded after shots were fired Saturday night in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, located near Hebron.
The assailant was shot by Israeli forces and reportedly killed. Reports indicate there are ongoing scans to determine whether more people were involved in the attack.
Israeli media named the terrorist who carried out the attack as Muhammad Kamal Al-Jabari, a member of the military wing of Hamas.
According to Israel's Magen David Adom medical team, the wounded people were taken to the Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals including a man about 50-years-old who was later pronounced dead, a man in his 50s in moderate condition fully conscious and a man about 30-years-old.
Also among the wounded was a 37-year-old Palestinian evacuated by Israeli forces, described as being in moderate condition.
According to Israeli reports, two of the wounded were father and son.
"We suffered a very serious attack this evening," said Kiryat Arba Hebron Council Chairman Eliyahu Liebman in response to the shooting.
