An Israeli was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting Wednesday afternoon near Nebe Elias east of Kalkilya in Samaria, in a second shooting attack within two hours.
Earlier, Palestinian terrorists shot and killed an Israeli, Eldad Abir, 48, in a terrorist attack at a gas station just outside the Migdalim settlement, southeast of Nablus.
The Al Aqsa Martrys' Brigades, a group affiliated with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party, took responsibility for the shooting. Israeli troops were searching for two gunmen who fled the scene, Israel Radio said.
A second shooting just miles away left an Israeli man seriously wounded, the Israeli military said. The man was shot in the neck in a drive-by shooting near the settlement of Karnei Shomron, it added.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Magen David Adom paramedics initially treated the second victim, a Netanya resident, at the scene. He was subsequently taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
The terror attacks on Israelis came as the Islamic militant Hamas group prepared to take over the Palestinian Cabinet and Israel heads into March 28 parliamentary elections.
