An Israeli father of six was shot dead at a West Bank spring as he prepared to immerse for Yom Kippur, and hours later Israeli commandos raided a Ramallah area hospital to seize the wounded Palestinian suspect who had fled there.
The victim was Netanel Shukrun, an information systems analyst in his 30s from the settlement of Alei Zahav. He had travelled to the spring near Neve Tzuf, north of Ramallah, with his eldest son to immerse before the Day of Atonement, the Samaria Regional Council said.
