Pregnant Israeli woman who was killed in the shooting attack in the West Bank

A pregnant Israeli woman was shot in the Israeli authorities who say that it was a terrorist attack in the north of the occupied West Bank.

The 30 -year -old Tzeela GEZ went to a hospital with her husband Hananel to be born when a shooter opened the fire on her car near her house on Wednesday evening in the Bruchin settlement. Ms. GEZ was critically wounded while Mr. GEZ was slightly wounded.

The doctors carried out an emergency Caesarean section and delivered the baby in a serious but stable condition. But they couldn't save Ms. GEZ 'life.

The Israeli military said that its armed forces followed the shooter. According to reports, the troops surrounded the nearby Palestinian village of Bruqin.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was “deeply shocked by the terrible attack in [the northern West Bank] Against a pregnant woman and her husband, they made their way into the childcare room. “

“This detention -worthy event reflects the difference between us – those who appreciate and live life – and the loyalty terrorists whose life goal is to kill us and cut us off,” he added.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said that he had ordered the Israeli military to “identify the origin of the attackers and to react with maximum strength”.

There was no immediate assertion of Palestinian armed groups, but the Hamas praised the attack as a “heroic” reaction to Israel “escalating crimes and the continuing aggression against our people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank”.

Hundreds of Palestinians and dozens of Israelis have been killed in a violent storm in the West Bank since the beginning of the war, which was triggered by Hamass on October 7, 2023.

Israel has built around 160 settlements that accommodate around 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Jordanland and East Jerusalem in the Middle East War in 1967.

The vast majority of the international community consider the illegal settlements that are illegal according to international legal law – a position that is supported by an advisory statement by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year – although Israel denies this.
