The attack spotlights rising settler violence that has intensified under a fragile Gaza truce.

  • The Israeli military said a civilian who is an unmobilized army reservist opened fire during the incident and that the case is under review.
  • In Gaza on Tuesday, health officials reported two deaths in separate incidents, including a woman killed by gunfire from an Israeli naval boat in Beit Lahiya and a man killed in an airstrike near Khan Younis.
