According to a Palestinian report, the terrorist was Samer Atal, 47, a father of five from Einabus, south of Nablus.
Earlier this month, Hamas terrorists opened fire toward the Shahak Industrial Park near the settler community of Shaked in the northern West Bank.
In the first six months of 2024, the West Bank saw more than 500 Arab terrorist attacks each month on average, according to data made public by Hatzalah Judea and Samaria, as well as an uptick in settler violence against Palestinians.
During that period, first responders recorded 3,272 acts of terrorism in the region, including 1,868 cases of rock-throwing, 456 attacks with Molotov cocktails, 299 explosive charges and 109 shootings.
