JERUSALEM — An Israeli couple were shot to death Thursday in the West Bank by Palestinians while driving in their car with their four young children, according to the Israeli military and emergency services.

The children — ages 9, 7, 4 and 4 months — were in the back seat and were unharmed, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said. The victims were identified as Eitam and Naama Henkin, in their 30s, residents of the West Bank settlement of Neria.

Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, praised the shootings without claiming responsibility. “A greeting of glory and pride to the heroes who perpetrated this brave attack,” Iyad al-Buzom, a spokesman for the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza, wrote on his Facebook page.
