A 25-year-old man was killed and a second man wounded in a terror attack near Dolev, northwest of Jerusalem in the West Bank, The Times of Israel reported today.

The 25-year-old was shot in the upper body near the settlement of Dolev, northwest of Jerusalem. He was found unconscious and transferred to Tel Hashomer Hospital by IDF helicopter where he died over an hour after the attack.

A second man was moderately hurt in the attack and was also being treated at Tel Hashomer.

A large deployment of soldiers aided by Israel Police were currently searching for at least one shooter.

According to Ynet, the men had been flagged down by a pedestrian.

Two 25-year-old Israelis were traveling in the area inside a vehicle when a Palestinian signaled for them to stop as if to ask for help before firing on them from point-blank range. Magen David Adom and a large number of IDF troops were rushed to the area which was cordoned off as searches began for a suspect.
