One person has been killed and eight have been wounded in an attack by three Palestinian gunmen on a highway near an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, Israeli police say.

A statement said the “terrorists” got out of a car at a checkpoint for Maale Adumim and fired automatic weapons at several vehicles waiting there.

Police killed two attackers while the third was wounded and arrested.

There was no immediate claim from any Palestinian armed group.
