Three Palestinians used automatic weapons to fire from a car toward a traffic jam at the checkpoint, on a highway between a large Israeli settlement and Jerusalem, the Israeli police said.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Two people were killed and four were wounded in what Israeli police said was a shooting attack near a junction in southern Israel on Friday. Tension has been surging in the region as Israel continues to pound the Gaza Strip more than four months after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked its towns. "This attack reminds us that the entire country is a front and that the murderers, who come not only from Gaza, want to kill us all," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
