Tel Aviv [Israel], May 31: An Israeli man has succumbed to his wounds after being shot near the entrance of an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank, according to Israel's army.
The drive-by shooting on Tuesday took place close to the Israeli settlement of Hermesh, southwest of Jenin.
Such settlements are considered illegal under international law.
The man was identified by local media as Meir Tamari, believed to be in his 30s. He was pronounced dead at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center.
AFP news agency said he had lived at Hermesh for the past four years, citing a statement by the Shomron Regional Council, the Israeli body that administers settlements in the northern West Bank.
An affiliate of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said it had carried out the attack to avenge Palestinians killed by Israel.
"This, and other operations to come, will not be the final response to assuage our pain at the passing of our martyrs. Our pain is greater, and so is our revenge," the Tulkarm Brigades said in a statement.
