On Shabbos afternoon, a terror shooting attack in Huwara resulted in the deaths of two Jews, Hy”d.

In response, the IDF has launched efforts to locate suspects and establish roadblocks in the volatile vicinity of Huwara in the northern Shomron.

The victims of the attack have been identified as Shai Nigreker, 60, and Aviad Nir, 28, a father and son from Ashdod.
