One Israeli man was killed and three others were injured, including a Palestinian paramedic, in a shooting attack in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba on Saturday night.

The Israeli victim was identified as Ronen Hanania, a 49-year-old resident of Kiryat Arba. Hanania's 19-year-old son and MDA medic Ofer Ohana, who is hospitalized in serious condition, are among the wounded.

The Palestinian gunman was rammed by the settlement's security officer's truck while holding an M-16 rifle, and then shot dead by an off-duty military officer after shooting at Israelis outside a store near the Ashmoret checkpoint, footage showed.

According to a preliminary army probe, the shooter entered Kiryat Arba from Hebron via the Ashmoret crossing. The checkpoint was reinstated last May after it was closed during the second Intifada in 2002.

The shooter was identified as Hebron resident Muhammed Kamel al-Jaabari, according to Palestinian media reports. The army is searching the area for a second person involved in the attack.

Several members of the al-Jaabari family are associated with Hamas. Muhammed's brother was released as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal and was exiled to Gaza.

Yisrael Lior, a Magen David Adom paramedic who arrived with Ohana to the scene said that when they arrived they saw a person with a head injury inside a vehicle. "When we went to treat the injured individual we were fired on. I took cover and [Ohana] shouted 'I've been wounded in my hand.'"

Last night, settlers held demonstrations throughout the West Bank following the attack and are blocking several roads for Palestinian movement.
