Israeli medics said they were treating two men in their 20s, one
in a very serious condition and the other fully conscience.
Video footage from the scene that was shared on social media and
seen by Reuters showed two men lying motionless on the floor of
the mall while people tried to give them urgent medical care.
At least one of the men receiving care was wearing a green
uniform, the video showed. A third man, not in uniform, was
lying motionless a short distance away. No one was administering
care to him.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Israel is conducting a military offensive in Gaza in retaliation
for the deadly Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7
last year.
Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, already on the rise
before the war in Gaza, has escalated further, with stepped-up
Israeli military raids, settler violence and Palestinian street
attacks.
In January, a Palestinian ramming attack in central Israel
killed one woman and injured 12 others.
