The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that four Palestinians were killed and three seriously wounded in the shooting attack near the village of Tel, south of Nablus. The update reduces the earlier wounded count from four to three. The ministry notes that the casualties are likely the terrorists who were eliminated by Israeli security forces during the incident.
The Palestinian Health Ministry updated its casualty count from this morning's shooting attack near the village of Tel, south of Nablus, now reporting 4 killed and 3 seriously wounded — down from the earlier figure of 4 wounded — and stating that the casualties are likely the terrorists who were eliminated by Israeli security forces during the incident. The update, issued at 09:32 Jerusalem, follows the ministry's initial report at 09:23 Jerusalem that listed 4 killed and 4 wounded.
The incident began around 08:25 Jerusalem, when a group of Palestinian attackers snatched a weapon from a security officer at Gilad Farm and opened fire, critically wounding the officer and another Israeli, according to Israeli reports. The IDF imposed a cordon on Shechem and Kfar Tel. By 08:25, Palestinian sources reported 4 killed and 4 wounded in a shooting near Tel village. The Zioneer reported the initial ministry count at 09:23 Jerusalem. The new revision reduces the wounded count and specifies that the casualties are the attackers.
The Zioneer's earlier reporting from Israeli sources detailed the weapon snatching and the IDF response. The Palestinian ministry's statement that the killed and wounded are the terrorists aligns with the Israeli assessment that the attackers were eliminated by security forces.
The IDF has not yet officially commented on the incident or the updated Palestinian figures. The condition of the two Israeli wounded — the security officer and the hiker — has not been updated since initial reports. The identification of the Palestinian casualties as the attackers remains the Palestinian ministry's assertion, pending independent verification.
