An Israeli woman in her 40s was killed and a man was seriously wounded on Monday in a terrorist shooting near Hebron in Judea.

According to reports, at least one terrorist opened fire on the victims while they were driving on the Route 60 Highway, close to the Beit Hagai Junction.

Magen David Adom emergency medical personnel treated two people at the scene with critical gunshot wounds, later declaring the woman dead. The other victim, a man in his 30s, was evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva.

The Israel Defense Forces launched a manhunt for the terrorists.

On Saturday, a Palestinian terrorist shot and killed two Israelis in Huwara, located just outside Nablus (Shechem) in Samaria.

The victims, Shay Silas Nigrekar, 60, and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir, were residents of Ashdod.

The IDF was continuing on Monday to search for the perpetrator.
