Last night (Monday), the IDF arrested three Arabs, two doctors and a brother, in the Ramallah area, on suspicion of carrying out the shooting attack in Binyamin in which Amar Mansour, an Israeli citizen resident of East Jerusalem, was murdered. Another woman was seriously injured in the attack.

According to the report of the Jewish Voice, they are Eyser al-Barghouti, an anaesthesiologist, Khaled al-Kharuf, a doctor from Ramallah, and Mourid Dahadha from the village of Jalazone, who works as a nurse in his profession.

The shooting attack took place yesterday morning on Route 465 near the British Police intersection in the Binyamin Region. Mansour was seriously injured by the shooting, and after performing medical tests, MDA medics and paramedics had to pronounce him dead.

MDA emergency medic Binyamin Rosenbaum said: "We quickly arrived at the scene, and we saw a 30-year-old man sitting in a car unconscious without a pulse or breathing and suffering from gunshot wounds to his body. We performed medical tests, but his injury was critical and we had to pronounce him dead."

Later, the IDF spokesman stated that fighters and additional troops who were summoned started a pursuit of the terrorists and were blocking roads in the area.

Binyamin Council head Israel Gantz said that this was a "shooting attack with serious consequences. Terrorism haunts us everywhere, and we need to eradicate it everywhere. We must be aggressive against terrorism and engage in extensive activity here in the Ramallah area and Judea and Samaria overall."
