Palestinian man with Israeli citizenship kills a reservist in Israel

A Palestinian man with Israeli citizenship went on a shooting rampage in several towns in central Israel on Sunday, killing a reservist and wounding five other people.

The attack came at a time of heightened tensions following a spate of Israeli settler attacks. The attacker was killed by police. Police identified the attacker as a resident of the Arab town of Taybeh in his 20s, but his precise motives weren't immediately known. The attack began with a shooting Sunday morning at a gas station near the town of Kokhav Yair, located on the Israeli side of the boundary with the occupied West Bank.

Several other shootings were reported in two nearby Israeli towns and close to the Israeli settlement of Salit, inside the West Bank.

Police initially feared a series of coordinated attacks, but eventually determined a gunman and an accomplice who may have served as his driver were involved.

The suspected accomplice was arrested. Israel's military said a 55-year-old reservist was killed near Tzur Natan.
