Three people, including an Israeli military officer and two civilians, have been wounded after Palestinian gunmen opened fire at Jewish worshipers who were praying at a contested holy site in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, according to officials.

The officer—Shomron Regional Brigade Commander, Col. Roi Zweig—was injured after the army returned fire on the gunmen, according to local reports which cite Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
