Israeli police kill Palestinian gunman after central Israel shootings leave one dead, five injured
The Jerusalem Post reported that a drive‑by shooting in the Sharon region of central Israel left one person dead and five others wounded. Police engaged the gunman and shot him dead, while units of the Israel Defense Forces moved into nearby villages to conduct raids and impose closures as part of the manhunt. Authorities also began searching for a second suspect believed to be involved.
The Associated Press later identified the attacker as a Palestinian man holding Israeli citizenship and confirmed that a second suspect was taken into custody. Israeli police and security forces announced the successful neutralization of the gunman and the arrest, concluding the immediate threat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials issued statements condemning the attack.
