The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that four Palestinians were killed and four wounded, three critically, in a shooting attack in the town of Tel, southwest of Nablus. The ministry identifies the deceased as four members of the Ramadan family: Farouk, Ibrahim, Jawad, and Omran. The wound count was revised down from an earlier report of six.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has updated its report on the incident in the town of Tel, southwest of Nablus, identifying the four deceased as members of the Ramadan family — Farouk, Ibrahim, Jawad, and Omran — and revising the wounded count from six to four, with three in serious condition. The ministry now describes the event as a 'shooting attack.' This update, published at 10:27 Jerusalem, follows an earlier bulletin at 10:07 that reported 4 dead and 6 wounded without specifying the cause.
The thread of reports on this incident began at 08:25 Jerusalem, when Israeli media reported that armed Palestinians had snatched a weapon from a security coordinator at Gilad Farm and wounded two Israeli hikers. The IDF imposed a cordon on Shechem and Kfar Tel. By 08:25, the Palestinian Health Ministry had issued its first casualty figures, though the numbers and classifications shifted through subsequent versions: initial reports of 4 dead and 4 wounded, then 4 dead and 3 wounded, and finally 4 dead and 6 wounded in the 10:07 bulletin. The earlier thread versions included a note that the casualties were 'likely the terrorists who were eliminated by Israeli security forces,' a characterization the current update does not repeat.
The shooting occurred in the area of Gilad Farm, a settlement outpost in the Yitzhar sector of Samaria, an area where tensions have been high. The Palestinian Health Ministry's accounting is based on a single official source; the IDF has not issued a statement on the incident.
It remains unclear whether the four killed were combatants or civilians. The IDF has not commented on the event, and no independent verification of the Palestinian casualty figures is available.
