Deadly West Bank Shooting Sparks Calls for Forceful Response from Israeli Government.

Two Israeli sisters were killed and their mother critically injured in a terror shooting attack in the West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces have launched a manhunt for the gunmen and other suspects who fled the scene. The attack came amid heightened tensions across the region after tit-for-tat rocket fire from the Gaza Strip and Israeli strikes, a major rocket barrage from Lebanon, clashes at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, as well as a suspected Iranian drone launched from Syria earlier in the week. The Hamas terror group praised the deadly shooting, calling it “a natural response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes against Al-Aqsa Mosque and its barbaric aggression against Lebanon and the steadfast Gaza.”
