An Israeli was killed and three family members wounded today after a suspected Palestinian "terrorist" opened fire at their car south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the army said.
"A terrorist opened fire at a family driving on route 60, near Al Fawar, south of Hebron," the army said in a statement.
"As a result, the vehicle crashed, killing one passenger and wounding three more," it said.
The army said troops were "searching the area for the gunman who fled the scene".
Violence since October has killed at least 214 Palestinians, 34 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese.
Most of the Palestinians were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities.
Others were killed in clashes with security forces or by Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip.
