Netanyahu approves West Bank military operations

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an assessment with top security officials about a shooting that took place in al-Funduq on Monday, the prime minister's office said in a statement posted on X.

“The prime minister approved the operations to apprehend the terrorists and bring them to justice, as well as a series of additional offensive and defensive actions in Judea and Samaria,” the office said.

The office didn't provide further details.

A shooting in the occupied West Bank on Monday morning killed three Israelis and wounded eight others, with one of the injured in critical condition.

Attackers targeted a bus and two cars near the village of al-Funduq, east of Qalqilya, where settlers often transit through to the illegal Israeli settlements of Kedumim, Shavei Shomron, and others.

Israeli officials said two Palestinians were responsible for the shooting, with the fate of the attackers unknown.

According to Israel's emergency services, Magen David Adom, a bus driver, was left seriously wounded while two other Israelis were in moderate condition, and five more had mild injuries.
