A Palestinian gunman opened fire on Sunday on an Israeli couple in their car, wounding the man, in a West Bank town where a similar shooting last month prompted Israeli settlers to go on a violent rampage.
Israeli officials said the wounded Israeli, who also has U.S. citizenship, and soldiers at the scene returned fire, wounding the gunman, who was pursued by troops and captured.in Egypt aimed at calming months of violence.
Settlers responded to last month's incident by torching houses and cars and killing one Palestinian in a rampage described by a senior army commander as a "pogrom." "The prime minister told President Biden that Israel would continue to take action everywhere against terrorists and the architects of terrorism," Netanyahu's office said.
Israeli media reported the wounded man was a former U.S. Marine who now lives in a Jewish settlement in the West Bank where he is a security instructor. The U.S. ambassador to Israel confirmed a U.S. citizen had been injured in the attack. The embassy declined to provide further details.
