Two Israeli settlers shot dead in drive-by shooting near Nablus

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Two Israeli settlers were shot and killed in a shooting between the illegal Israeli settlements of Itamar and Elon Moreh near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Thursday evening, an Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an.

An Israeli army spokesperson said several shots were fired at the settlers' car from a passing vehicle, which fled to a nearby Palestinian village following the shooting.

Two adults were killed in the shooting, while Israeli media has reported that up to four children were in the car, but left unharmed.

The spokesperson said Israeli forces "are conducting a search of the area" to investigate the incident.

will be bulldozed.

Meanwhile, the terrorists who burned an entire Palestinian family to death will never be prosecuted, and their entire settlement is being rewarded with special legal treatment.

The road has been closed to traffic. The IDF and Shin Bet have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, including sweeps of the area, roadblocks and other methods. The area southeast of Nablus has been declared a closed military zone, and eyewitnesses report seeing UAVs and patrols flooding the area.

IDF forces are said to be operating in force in the nearby Palestinian village of Awarta.

as opposed to the response to a Palestinian baby being burned alive so far no one has been arrested a near by settler outpost was raided some 10 days later and Israel is now seeking to make that outpost a legal settlement

This isn't resistance - this is cowardly murder.
