An American teenager was among at least five people killed in separate attacks in Israel and the West Bank that also left several others injured, officials said today.
An 18-year-old American was killed in an attack in the West Bank, according to Israeli police, which did not release the victim's name. A U.S. consulate official told ABC News that they "are aware of reports that U.S. citizens were injured in an attack in the West Bank today, but we have no information to confirm these reports at this time."
In the first attack today, a Palestinian stabbed two Israelis to death and one person was wounded in a busy commercial area on Ben Tzvi road in southern Tel Aviv, authorities said. At the time of the assault, victims were reportedly praying.
Later in the day in the West Bank, near a Jewish settlement, an attacker opened fire and then crashed a car into pedestrians, according to the Israeli military. In addition to the American teenager, two other people were killed, including one Palestinian, one Israeli and several others were injured.
