Two Palestinian gunmen were killed after they shot dead four Israeli in a shooting operation on Tuesday evening in the settlement of Eli near Ramallah.

Israel's emergency services, Magen David Adom, reported that the four settlers were killed at the scene, while four others were injured and transferred to Beilinson Hospital for treatment.

According to a preliminary investigation, at least two Palestinian gunmen arrived at the scene in a vehicle and opened fire toward a hummus restaurant, and then opened fire toward a gas station as well. 

One of the gunmen was neutralized and the other fled, apparently in a seized vehicle. 

After a two-hour manhunt, the Israeli army announced that they had shot him dead.

The shooters were identified as Muhannad Faleh Shehadeh and Khaled Sabah, Hamas activists from Urif in Nablus.
