  • Story Text: An Israeli civilian was killed and another wounded in the occupied West Bank on Friday (June 19) in an attack apparently carried out by a Palestinian gunman, a hospital spokeswoman and security forces said.
    Police and the military said the attack took place near the Jewish settlement of Dolev in the central West Bank and that the two men, both 25, were treated at the scene before being taken to a hospital near Tel Aviv.
    A police spokesman said Israeli security forces were scouring the area for the gunman.
    Shootings of settlers in the West Bank have tapered off in recent years as Palestinian attackers resorted to throwing rocks and petrol bombs at passing Israeli cars.
    There has been a spate of attackers ramming cars into civilians waiting for public transport in Jerusalem in the past year and a number of people have been killed.
    Tensions flared in Jerusalem last year, both before and after the Gaza war, but the city has been relatively calm in recent months.
