Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has requested an "urgent security consultation," according to Arab media.

His friends on the far right have been advocating for a significant operation in the West Bank. 

The gunmen returned home and opened fire on a restaurant before moving on to a petrol station, according to the Israeli army. 

One of the attackers, according to Khan, "stole a working vehicle and fled the area."

Two Palestinians from Urif village in Nablus, Mohannad Faleh Shhadeh and Khaled Mostafa Sbah, were identified as the attackers. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested an "urgent security consultation.

" For months, his far-right allies have called for a large-scale military action in the occupied West Bank.

Netanyahu later threatened to retaliate violently.

"We have demonstrated in recent months that we exact vengeance on all murders, without exception." 

Whoever harmed us will either be buried or imprisoned. "

This is what will happen in this case as well," the Israeli leader said.
