A man was fatally shot at the entrance to a settlement in the West Bank late on Friday, Israeli medics said, in what the Israeli military described as an attack by “terrorists.”

The assailants fired at a guard inside the booth at the entrance to Ariel and fled the scene, the Israeli military said in a tweet, adding that roads in the area were shut down while soldiers search for the suspects.

This is a developing story
