A Palestinian gunman opened fire on Sunday on an Israeli couple in their car, wounding the man, in a West Bank town where a similar shooting last month prompted Israeli settlers to go on a violent rampage.
Israeli officials said the wounded Israeli, who also has US citizenship, and soldiers at the scene returned fire, wounding the gunman, who was pursued by troops and captured.
Settlers responded to last month's incident by torching houses and cars and killing one Palestinian in a rampage described by a senior army commander as a "pogrom." Israel's ambulance service said it had treated a man shot in Huwara. A paramedic, among the first to arrive at the scene, said on Israel Radio that one Israeli man was wounded as he sat in his car with his wife.
