Four people were murdered in a shooting attack at a gas station near the settlement of Ali

Four people were murdered at noon on Tuesday in a shooting attack at a gas station near the settlement of Ali in the center of the West Bank. Four other people were injured, one seriously, and the rest moderately and lightly. The shooting opened at a restaurant and the terrorist was shot dead. There is a suspicion that more terrorists fled the area and the IDF is looking for them.
Shortly after the attack, a warning was issued against the infiltration of terrorists in the Ali settlement. The head of the settlement, Ariel Elmaleh, said that the residents are called to obey the orders of the security forces and shut themselves in their homes. Reinforced forces were called to the area to help with searches and to secure the settlements in the area.
Defense Minister Yoav Galant's office said that he receives regular updates on the attack and the search for the terrorists. At 18:00, Galant will hold a situation assessment with Chief of Staff Hartzi Halevi, Head of the Shin Bet Ronan Bar and security establishment officials.
Prime Minister Netanyahu convened a situation assessment with the heads of the security establishment.
Today's murderous attack comes a day after a problematic military incident in Jenin. The Israel Defense Forces, which was engaged in arresting activities, encountered violent and massive resistance. Two military vehicles were damaged by explosive devices. Seven soldiers sustained moderate wounds. They were rescued with the help of a combat helicopter that fired two missiles to deter the terrorists.
Following the incident in Jenin and the attack on the Ali settlement, voices are growing in the government to carry out a military operation in the West Bank. The sources claim that deterrence has been compromised. The question that comes up is the fear that Gaza will join military activity against Israel.
