Israeli man killed, 2 wounded in West Bank shooting attack on eve of Passover holiday

Published January 08, 2015

Police say assailants opened fire on an Israeli vehicle in the West Bank, killing one person and wounding two.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the people in the car were members of the same family. He says a man was killed, while his wife and one of his children were injured.

Israeli media say the woman was pregnant and that several children were in the car.

Israel TV's Channel 10 says the family was en route to a seder, the ritual meal at the start of the Jewish Passover holiday, in the Palestinian city of Hebron. Several hundred settlers live in heavily guarded enclaves in Hebron.

The military says troops are searching for the assailants.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
