Rep. Mills on White House pushing for temporary Gaza cease-fire

The Biden administration is looking to force a temporary cease-fire in Gaza. Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss the potential deal.

Three Palestinian gunmen killed one person and wounded five more on Thursday when they opened fire at motorists near an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank.

Police say a combination of officers and civilians at the scene, located near the Israeli city of Maale Adumim, returned fire at the gunmen immediately, killing two and wounding the third. Israeli police minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for Israel to create even more roadblocks in the West Bank in reaction to the shooting.

Images from the attack show multiple damaged vehicles as shocked motorists scrambled to get out of the way of the gunmen.

Israeli officials have yet to identify the motorist who was killed in Thursday’s attack. At least one woman sustained serious injuries in the incident, while the other four injuries are believed to be minor.

Israeli officials work at the scene of a shooting attack by Palestinian gunmen near the Maale Adumim settlement, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank February 22.

Hamas praised the attack, according to Reuters, calling it a “natural response” to the ongoing war between the terrorist group and Israel that began with the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 that killed at least 1,200 Israelis and included the abduction of hundreds more.

Two Palestinian gunmen were killed and one was injured after they opened fire near an Israeli checkpoint on Thursday.

The incident comes as tensions in the West Bank continue to spike. Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza continues, and the IDF has conducted dozens of raids into the West Bank, capturing alleged terrorists and dismantling bomb-making facilities.

At least one U.S. teen was killed in the West Bank last month, with an Israeli settler allegedly responsible. As a result, President Biden’s administration issued sanctions on Israeli settlers in the region.

Three Palestinian gunmen killed one person and wounded five more on Thursday when they opened fire at motorists near an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank.

A White House announcement of the executive order stated that “extremist settler violence” reached record levels in the West Bank in 2023. The sanctions banned dozens of settlers and their families from traveling to or conducting business in the U.S.

“The United States has consistently opposed actions that undermine stability in the West Bank, including attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, and Palestinian attacks against Israelis,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement at the time.
