IDF: Troops come under fire near Nablus; vehicle damaged, with no injuries
Military vehicle with soldiers in it struck with multiple bullets near Palestinian village of Tell in northern West Bank
A military vehicle was damaged in a shooting attack in the northern West Bank on Saturday night, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The incident occurred on a road between the settlement of Yitzhar and the illegal Gilad Farms outpost, close to the Palestinian village of Tell, near Nablus.
No injuries were reported.
The military vehicle — which had soldiers in it at the time of the attack — was struck with several bullets, according to the army.
The suspected Palestinian gunmen fled the scene.
“IDF forces are now scanning the area. More details are to follow,” the military said in an initial statement.
On Tuesday, a drive-by shooting targeted a military post between the settlements of Itamar and Elon Moreh in the northern West Bank, according to the IDF.
No injuries were reported in that shooting as well, and the alleged gunmen fled toward Nablus.
