   A Palestinian gunman shot and killed an Israeli man in the occupied West Bank near Neveh Tzuf, sparking a major military response. Israeli forces subsequently captured the suspected attacker near a local hospital. In a separate incident during the flare-up, Israeli soldiers killed a motorist near Jenin. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that no terrorist is immune, while the military chief ordered reinforcements to join the manhunt across the territory.
