The perpetrator fled the scene after dropping the weapon, leading to a massive manhunt in the northern Samaria area. His wife reportedly suffered shock, while his children, who were also in the car were unharmed in the event. The man, who served in the US Marine Corps, managed to run after the attacker and shot him. IDF forces who launched a manhunt after the attack eventually arrested the perpetrator, while the victim, identified as David Stern, was evacuated to the hospital.

Hawara was the site of a tragic killing of two Israeli settlers several weeks ago. They were shot at point blank while driving through a main junction in the Arab village.
Israel's ambulance service said it was treating two people who were wounded at the scene. The report came as Israeli and Palestinian officials met in Egypt for talks aimed at calming a surge in violence, just as the Holy Month of Ramadan begins this week.
