An Israeli man has been killed and three people wounded after their car was fired on in the occupied West Bank, the military says.
It happened near the Jewish settlement of Otniel. The driver was killed when the car overturned after the attack. Israeli forces are searching for a gunman. It is the second fatal attack on an Israeli in the West Bank in two days. On Thursday a 13-year-old girl was killed in her bedroom by a Palestinian.
Thirty-five Israelis have now been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks since October. More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.
The assailants who have been killed have been shot either by their victims or by security forces as they carried out attacks. Some attackers have been arrested.
Palestinian shot dead
The victims of Friday's attack were members of the same family, local media report.
The shooting happened on Route 60, about nine miles (15km) south of the settlement of Kiryat Arba, where a day earlier teenager Hallel Yaffa Ariel was stabbed to death as she slept.
Her attacker, from a nearby village, was shot dead by settlement guards.
Hours before the shooting attack, a Palestinian woman was shot dead by security forces in Hebron, adjacent to Kiryat Arba, after drawing a knife, police said.
Police said the woman had tried to stab a policewoman who was searching her at the entrance to a shrine revered by Jews and Muslims.
