At least one person has been killed and five others injured in a series of shooting attacks in central Israel on Sunday, according to Israeli authorities.
Emergency service Magen David Adom confirmed that a man in his mid-30s died after suffering gunshot wounds. Five additional victims were evacuated to hospitals, including two in serious condition and three in moderate condition, all with penetrating injuries.
Police said the attacks occurred across several locations, including Tzur Natan and Tzur Yitzhak, near the town of Kokhav Yair, close to the occupied West Bank.
Security forces later located a suspected vehicle linked to the attacks and shot dead one suspect nearby. The military said searches were still ongoing for a possible second attacker.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly held a security assessment and is monitoring the situation.
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that if any attacker is captured alive, they should face the death penalty, referring to a recently approved Israeli law targeting those convicted of deadly terror attacks.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing as security operations continue in the area.
