A Palestinian opened fire on two Israelis near a West Bank settlement on Friday, killing one and wounding the other before fleeing, authorities said.

Israeli army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said a "Palestinian approached a vehicle that was in the area and asked them to stop... and shot the two from close range."

Medical sources confirmed that one of the Zionist settlers had died and the other was lightly wounded.

The attack took place near the Dolev settlement, according to Israel's emergency medical service Magen David Adom, which stated the targeted Zionists were in their 20s.
