Two suspected Palestinian attackers were killed and five Israelis were wounded during a shooting at a military checkpoint at the entrance to the city of Hebron. Unverified CCTV footage shows the two gunmen exiting a car armed with what appears to be a handgun and an assault rifle and starting to fire on soldiers at the checkpoint, before coming under return fire.
Footage verified by the shows an intense gun battle between soldiers and the gunmen at the checkpoint. The two injured Israelis are in critical condition, according to Israel's ambulance service.
The Israeli military said it had found a large quantity of ammunition in the attackers' vehicle. The military said they believe the gunmen had intended to carry out a much larger attack on the nearby Route 35, but ran into the checkpoint - so instead decided to open fire there.
Netanyahu, who has built his election campaign on promising security for Israelis, said that his Likud party would cancel campaign events for the morning. Four Israelis, both security forces and civilians, have been killed by Palestinians there over the same period, the UN says.
