Man and woman killed, third man critically injured in checkpoint shooting near Tarqumiya, south of Hebron.
Published On 1 Sep 2024
At least two Israeli security personnel have been killed and another injured in a shooting at a checkpoint in Hebron, as Israel brought reinforcements in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin as part of its ongoing deadly raids.
Israel has killed at least 24 Palestinians since it launched its operations in Jenin on Wednesday, as it continues its assault on Gaza. More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched war on October 7.
Israeli national emergency service Magen David Adom said on Sunday that a man and a woman were killed and that a third man in his 50s was being transferred to a hospital in critical conditions following the attack near the Tarqumiya checkpoint, south of Hebron.
The Israeli army said it launched a search operation to look for the attackers.
The Maariv newspaper reported that the three casualties were policemen working at the Hebron station who were shot at from a Palestinian car driving past.
“Attacks so far have been centered around the northern West Bank and in the Jordan valley area and now we see more of them coming from the south of the West Bank,” Al Jazeera’s Niba Ibrahim, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, said.
