Man Critically Wounded in West Bank Shooting Attack Near Neve Tzuf

A man was critically injured Sunday afternoon in what is suspected to be a shooting attack near the settlement of Neve Tzuf in the Benjamin region of the West Bank. The incident occurred at a spring located near a main road used by both Israeli and Palestinian vehicles. According to initial reports, shots were fired from a passing vehicle at a group of civilians bathing in the spring. Multiple MDA and military medical teams responded to the scene and are currently providing intensive life-saving treatment in an effort to stabilize the victim for urgent transport to a hospital.

Security forces have launched a large-scale manhunt for the shooter, who fled the scene. Reports indicate that immediately after the shooting, there was an exchange of fire directed at the suspect vehicle before it could escape, though it remains unclear if the vehicle or its occupants were hit. Security officials possess detailed information about the vehicle used in the attack. Large numbers of IDF soldiers and police have initiated a pursuit, blocking main roads throughout the Benjamin area and setting up checkpoints around nearby villages in an effort to contain the escape route and apprehend the fleeing vehicle.
