The Palestinian Health Ministry says the death toll in the town of Tel, southwest of Nablus, has risen to 4, with 6 wounded, 3 in serious condition. The figures are unverified and no details on the cause or affiliation of the casualties have been released.
The Palestinian Health Ministry this morning updated its casualty toll from the incident in Tel, southwest of Nablus, reporting four dead and six wounded, three in serious condition. This marks an increase from the earlier count of three wounded. The figures remain unverified, and the ministry has not specified the cause of the casualties.
The incident unfolded rapidly this morning. At 08:25 Jerusalem, reports emerged of a weapon snatching from a security officer by Palestinians near the outpost of Havat Gilad, followed by a shooting that wounded two Israeli hikers and the officer. Palestinian sources then reported four killed and four wounded in a nearby shooting. The Palestinian Health Ministry later revised the wounded count to three, and noted that the casualties were likely the terrorists eliminated by Israeli forces. Subsequently, the four Palestinians killed were identified as members of the same family, reportedly killed by IDF fire.
The IDF imposed a cordon on Shechem (Nablus) and Kfar Tel following the weapon theft, and the area remains sealed. The connection between the attack on the hikers and the Palestinian casualties is clear from the sequence of events, with the Israeli response likely targeting the assailants.
It remains unclear whether the six wounded reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry include the three previously listed or are additional, and whether any of the wounded are civilians. The IDF has not commented on the latest figures. The identity and affiliation of the casualties remain unverified.
