Israeli troops were searching the area for the shooter, the army said.
Ynet reported that the attack is presumed to be terror related.
Yesh Atid’s leader Yair Lapid, Israel’s key opposition figure tweeted following the incident: “A difficult night. The heart aches at the murder of Rabbi Raziel Shevah. Israel stands strong in the face of terror and I have complete faith that the security services are doing everything to catch the terrorists responsible. My deepest condolences to his family.” Yair Lapid ”
