Four Israelis were wounded in a shooting attack near Mevo Dotan in the northern West Bank on Tuesday afternoon, according to Magen David Adom.

The terrorists fired at a man in his 30s, moderately wounding him, before driving further down the road and shooting three additional Israelis and wounding them moderately. The wounded man managed to drive to the Reihan Crossing and received initial treatment there before being transferred to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center for further treatment.

Israeli forces searching for the terrorists behind the attack entered the Palestinian town of Ya’abad, located near the scene of the attack, after the shooting, according to Palestinian reports.

Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan stated after the attack, “This difficult incident, with many casualties, took place at an intersection adjacent to the intersection where Meir Tamari was murdered about two weeks ago.”

“We have been begging for years and certainly after the attack, we begged, we cried out to stop abandoning us, to close the Hermesh checkpoint, to close the Mevo Dotan checkpoint,” added Dagan. “Whoever made the unfortunate decision to re-open the checkpoint at the entrance to Hermesh after the end of the seven days abandoned the lives of our residents.”
