One killed, five injured in central Israel shooting as security forces kill two suspects

At least one person has been killed and five others injured in a shooting incident near Kochav Yair, in central Israel, according to Israeli police and emergency services. The attack took place at multiple locations close to the separation wall and the boundary with the occupied West Bank. Israeli authorities say two suspects were shot and killed as security forces responded to the incident. Residents in nearby areas, including routes toward Qalqilya, were told to remain indoors as searches continued. Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim, reporting from Yitma near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, said Israeli forces had imposed movement restrictions and were conducting investigations across the area. Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas, speaking from Tel Aviv, said the area sits along the Green Line and described it as a “seam zone” between Israel and the West Bank. He added that tensions in the area reflect a wider cycle of violence and retaliatory fears on both sides.
