One killed, 5 injured in Israel shooting attack

JERUSALEM -- One person was killed and five others were injured in a shooting in central Israel on Sunday before the suspected attacker was shot, in what Israeli security services described as a "terror attack."

The shooting occurred at three locations in the Kochav Ya'ir area of central Israel, near the border with the West Bank, according to reports.

The military said in a statement that forces were dispatched to nearby areas and "neutralized" a militant at the scene. The suspect's condition was not immediately clear.

Troops are conducting extensive searches for possible additional attackers, the military said.

Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said a 35-year-old man was pronounced dead, while five others were taken to hospitals for treatment, including one in serious condition.
