Al-Qassam Website - An Israeli colonial settler was shot dead and five others injured in a heroic drive-by shooting operation near the colonial settlement of "Kiryat Arba" built on private Palestinian land in occupied al-Khalil.

Local sources reported that an Israeli coloniser was killed while five others were injured, one seriously, in the operation that took place in the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil.

The occupation forces have since launched a massive hunt for the Palestinian freedom fighters allegedly involved in the shooting operation.

While 34 Zionist Israeli colonisers have been killed since the start of 2023 by Palestinian resistance fighters, 226 Palestinians have also been shot dead by Israeli occupation forces and colonial settlers during the same period.
