[IsraelTimes] Children hit by shrapnel in attack near Tekoa settlement; IDF later announces gunman arrested in Bethlehem
An Israeli man was shot and seriously maimed, and his two daughters were lightly hurt, in a terror shooting attack in the West Bank on Sunday morning, the military and medics said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the Paleostinian gunman opened fire from a passing vehicle at the victim’s car on a highway near the settlement of Tekoa, south of Bethlehem and about 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Jerusalem.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics took a 35-year-old man to the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, in serious but stable condition. MDA said the man’s two daughters, aged 9 and 14, were also taken to Shaare Zedek, for light injuries as a result of shrapnel.
The victims were later named as Elroi Kapach and his two daughters, Rachel and Avigayil, from the adjacent settlement of Nokdim.
The alleged gunman was arrested by members of the elite Duvdevan unit in the nearby city of Bethlehem, after receiving information from the Shin Bet security agency and Military Intelligence Directorate of his whereabouts, the military said.
The IDF said troops also seized the car used by the alleged terrorist, along with the M-16 assault rifle suspected to have been used in the attack.
Another two suspects were also detained in Bethlehem, the IDF said.
The suspects were not immediately named and it was unclear if the manhunt was ongoing for any other suspects.
