At least one person was killed and five others wounded in multiple shooting attacks in Israel on Sunday, authorities said, with one of the perpetrators killed.

Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom said a man about 35 years old had died of gunshot wounds.

The service also “provided medical treatment and evacuated to hospitals five injured people, including two in serious condition and three in moderate condition, with penetrating injuries to their bodies”, it added.

The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had “held a situational assessment and is monitoring the deadly shooting attack”.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on X that “if the terrorist is caught alive — he will be executed”.

He was referring to a recently approved Israeli law that imposes the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of terror charges for deadly anti-Israeli attacks.

“Jewish blood is not cheap. Whoever murders a Jew will see the hangman’s noose,” Ben Gvir said.
