The Israeli army is looking for the perpetrators
The Israeli army indicated that its troops are looking for the perpetrators of this “terrorist attack” and that they have installed roadblocks in the vicinity of the scene of the attack and surrounded several villages.
“After the initial report, the terrorists opened fire on a civilian bus and other vehicles adjacent to Al Funduk,” the Army said about this attack that took place near the settlement of Kedumim.
Two Palestinians perpetrated the attack and fled the scene.
“We will reach the abominable murderers and bring to justice those who helped them. No one will go unpunished,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a message, who sent condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, threatened to “make a very high price pay those who follow the path of Hamas in Gaza and encourage the murder of Jews in Judea and Samaria (biblical term of the West Bank)”.
“A sad and painful morning. Three pure souls killed by despicable terrorists in a brutal attack. (…) The security forces will take care of the damned murderers,” said Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
At least 48 dead from Israeli attacks
At least 48 Palestinians have died in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours from Israeli attacks, bringing the total number of fatalities in fifteen months of war to 45,854, including almost 18,000 children, according to data from the Ministry of Health of the enclave.

U.S. and Mexico Reach Deal to Address Water Deficit Under 1944 Treaty
The United States and Mexico have reached an agreement to comply with current water obligations affecting U.S. farmers and ranchers and for Mexico to cover its water deficit to Texas under the 1944 Water Treaty, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a statement.
The department уточified that the agreement applies to both the current cycle and the water deficit from the previous cycle.
On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Mexico of failing to comply with the water-sharing treaty between the two countries, which requires the United States to deliver 1.85 billion cubic meters of water from the Colorado River, while Mexico must supply 432 million cubic meters from the Rio Grande.
Mexico is behind on its commitments. According to Washington, the country has accumulated a deficit of more than one billion cubic meters of water over the past five years.
“This violation is severely harming our beautiful crops and our livestock in Texas,” Trump wrote on Monday.
The Department of Agriculture said on Friday that Mexico had agreed to supply 250 million cubic meters of water starting next week and to work toward closing the shortfall.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, quoted in the statement, said Mexico delivered more water in a single year than it had over the previous four years combined.
Trump has said that if Mexico continues to fall short of its obligations, the United States reserves the right to impose 5% tariffs on imported Mexican products.
Mexico’s Deputy Foreign Minister for North America, Roberto Velasco, said that a severe drought in 2022 and 2023prevented the country from meeting its commitments.
