Palestinian terrorists killed three Israeli police officers on Sunday by firing on a vehicle in the occupied West Bank. Israel has carried out large-scale raids here in recent days. The attackers are currently absconding. The attack took place on a roadside in the southern West Bank. The Israeli army has been firing with terrorists almost daily since the war in Gaza began. Police confirmed that the three killed were officers.

Police said one of the officers killed was 61-year-old Roni Shakuri, a resident of the southern city of Sderot near the Gaza border. His daughter, Mor, also a police officer, was killed in a battle with Hamas militants when they tried to capture the Sderot police station during the October 7 attack.

Khalil al-Rahman Brigade claimed responsibility
A terrorist group calling itself the Khalil al-Rahman Brigade claimed responsibility for the shooting on Sunday. Hamas praised the attack as a natural response to the war in Gaza and called for more.

One terrorist killed
Later on Sunday, the army said Israeli forces surrounded a house in the nearby city of Hebron where the suspected attacker was believed to be hiding. The army said it killed one terrorist at the scene, but gave no further details. The West Bank has seen a surge in violence since a Hamas attack from Gaza on October 7 sparked a war there.

More than 650 Palestinians killed
More than 650 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, mostly during Israeli military arrest raids. Most appear to have been militants involved in exchanges with Israeli forces, but civilian bystanders and stone-throwing protesters have also been killed.

Violence against Palestinians
The past 10 months have also seen a surge in violence against Palestinians and Palestinian attacks on Israelis. Israel seized the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war. Palestinians want all three areas for their future state, but the last serious peace talks failed more than 15 years ago.

More than 100 settlements in the West Bank
Israel has built more than 100 settlements in the West Bank, some of which resemble suburbs and small cities. More than 500,000 residents with Israeli citizenship live in the settlements, which most of the international community considers illegal. Three million Palestinians in the West Bank live under open Israeli military rule.
