A shooting attack near the southern Israeli city of Ashdod on Tuesday resulted in one fatality and another individual wounded, according to a statement from the Assuta Hospital. The incident occurred on Route 4, prompting an immediate response from medical teams.
"Shortly after the incident, two injured individuals were transported to the hospital. Unfortunately, one patient died en route to the hospital," the statement detailed.
Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting, which took place near the Yavne South interchange, approximately 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) south of Tel Aviv, Israel's commercial hub. Authorities confirmed that officers were present at the scene and emphasized that the motive behind the shooting remains unclear at this time.
This incident follows a series of violent events in the region. Just days prior, a stabbing rampage in the central town of Hadera left one person dead and five others injured before the assailant was subdued. The Palestinian militant group Hamas publicly commended that attack, referring to it as a "heroic stabbing operation" and urging for more aggressive actions against what they describe as occupation forces

Earlier this month, violence escalated further when seven people lost their lives in a coordinated shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, which was also claimed by Hamas. The ongoing tensions have led to several attacks on Israelis by Palestinian militants since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7 last year, when Hamas launched a significant assault on southern Israel, triggering a war in Gaza.
As investigations continue into the latest shooting, the situation remains tense, with security forces on high alert amid fears of further violence.
