2 Israelis fatally shot in West Bank

JERUSALEM -- An Israeli official says a Palestinian shot and killed two Israelis as they were driving in the West Bank.

Eli Bin of Israel's emergency services says a third Israeli was wounded in the attack on Friday afternoon.

Israeli media reported that a Palestinian man got out of his car near the city of Hebron and fired at a car with an Israeli family.

The reports say the Palestinian fled the scene after the shooting.

No other details were immediately available.

Israeli forces kill Palestinian in undercover raid

Since mid-September, 14 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings. Seventy-nine Palestinians have been killed, including 50 who Israel says were involved in attacks.

Friday's shooting came a day after Palestinians were outraged by video showing Israeli forces disguised in traditional Arab outfits, including one impersonating a pregnant woman and others appearing to have fake beards, bursting into a Hebron hospital overnight and killing a Palestinian man during a daring arrest raid caught on video.

Hebron, a volatile city in the southern West Bank, has been a frequent flashpoint of violence during the latest flare-up of Israel-Palestinian unrest.
