At approximately 08:22 Jerusalem, initial reports emerged of a shooting attack near the community of Havat Gilad in Samaria.

According to MDA's final update at 10:05, one man, approximately 30, was killed, and two others were wounded — one seriously (20) and one moderately (25) — and evacuated by helicopter with IDF medical support.
The incident began when a group of Israeli hikers was attacked near the village of Tel, close to Havat Gilad.

MDA initially reported four wounded, including one unconscious, before revising the number to three total casualties after the death was declared at 09:12.
