An Israeli man has been shot dead in a terrorist attack south of Hebron.

The man had been travelling with his wife and two children, one of whom is a baby, when their car came under from a passing vehicle.

The baby was lightly injured, and the couple’s 14-year-old son was moderately wounded.

The family’s car flipped over due to the attack, close to Beit Hagai on Route 60.

The dead man was in his 30s, the Magen David Adom rescue service said. His wife sustained serious head injuries from the gunfire, MDA said.

Security forces were searching the area for the perpetrators, who fled the scene after the attack.
