Amichai Atia, 17, from the northern West Bank settlement of Itamar, was killed early Friday morning after being struck by a vehicle in a Hadera shopping mall parking lot following an apparent confrontation.

Atia had just attended a late-night Selichot service with fellow students from Hitzim Yeshiva when the incident occurred. Police said the confrontation escalated, resulting in Atia being fatally struck by the vehicle.

The driver, a 21-year-old from Kafr Manda, was subsequently shot and lightly injured. According to Ynet, a 23-year-old friend of Atia was suspected of firing the shots.

Magen David Adom paramedics attempted to resuscitate Atia and transported him to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Police are investigating the incident as a criminal matter and said there is currently no indication that it was a terror attack.
