Meir Tamari, a 32-year-old Hermesh resident, was murdered in a terrorist shooting attack carried out near the northern West Bank settlement, the IDF said on Tuesday.
The Israeli was initially seriously wounded in the attack, Magen David Adom said as its paramedics treated the man, who suffered from gunshot wounds in his chest and shoulders, at the scene along with IDF medical personnel.
He was rushed to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera in serious condition before his death was determined. The victim was later identified as 32-year-old Tamari, a married father of two.
The mother of Tamari’s wife, Tali, is the second wife of Binyamin Horgen, who lost his first wife, Esther Horgen, in a terrorist attack in the Reihan Forest, north of Hermesh, in 2020.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said early Tuesday afternoon that he had received a security update on the situation and that he would hold an additional wider meeting with top defense officials in the coming hours.

Security forces were on a manhunt to catch the terrorist perpetrators as the IDF erected additional checkpoints to limit their ability to maneuver.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his condolences to the Tamari family on Tuesday afternoon, saying «Our forces are currently in pursuit of the terrorists in order to settle accounts with them, and they will be settled forthwith. Just as we have found every terrorist and closed accounts with them, we will do so this time as well.»
