A man driving a car with Israeli license plates was fatally shot at a busy intersection in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.
The victim of the drive-by shooting was later identified as a Palestinian resident of Jerusalem. The assailants presumably mistook him for an Israeli because of the license plates.
The Magen David Adom rescue service said the attackers fired through the victim’s front windshield. It said paramedics arriving at the scene in the central West Bank found the man unresponsive in his car.
The attack came hours after fighting elsewhere in Jenin killed seven Palestinians and a member of Israel’s border police.
