Friday morning's shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria began when a security officer's weapon was snatched by terrorists near the village of Tal, according to the IDF. The attack left one Israeli civilian dead – identified by MDA as a man in his 30s – and two others wounded, one seriously and one moderately. New footage published by journalist Haim Golditsch shows the moment the weapon was taken, corroborating earlier reports. The IDF has imposed a cordon on Nablus and the Tal area and is conducting a pursuit of the assailants. The attack is the latest in a series of security incidents in the area; as The Zioneer reported earlier, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene by MDA paramedics. Havat Gilad, a Jewish community in Samaria established in 2002, has been a focal point of security challenges, and the nearby Palestinian village of Tel has been the scene of previous confrontations.
