NEAR HEBRON, West Bank: An Israeli woman was killed in a suspected Palestinian shooting attack near the occupied West Bank city of Hebron on Monday , the Israeli military said.
A spokesperson for the Islamist Hamas group that governs blockaded Gaza, Hazem Qassem, praised the attack and said it was a response to Israel's ongoing assaults on Palestinians. "The significant change that is taking place on the ground, it is related to Iranian funding and to the proliferation of weapons under the Iranian directive. Iran seeks every means to harm the citizens of Israel," said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. He did not give any other details.
Hours after Monday's shooting, Palestinians reported that Israeli troops entered a village near the city of Nablus, sparking clashes with stone-throwing Palestinians. Eight people were wounded by Israeli fire, one seriously, medical officials said. Israel's army said it was checking the report.
