A Palestinian gunman was killed by police in Israel after he shot one person dead and wounded five others in a rampage through several towns.
The attacker, identified as an Arab Israeli citizen in his 20s, struck amid heightened tensions, following a spate of Israeli settler attacks and the deadly shooting of a Palestinian baby.
He began by shooting someone at a petrol station near the town of Kokhav Yair, on the Israeli side of the boundary with the occupied West Bank.
Several other shootings were reported in two nearby Israeli towns and close to the Israeli settlement of Salit, inside the West Bank.
