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 01:18

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.
