Israeli car comes under fire in West Bank, none hurt
Multiple bullets hit vehicle near settlement west of Ramallah; soldiers searching for shooter
A gunman opened fire at an Israeli vehicle Friday afternoon as it drove by the West Bank settlement of Nilli, west of Ramallah, the army said.
No injuries were reported in the attack, but multiple bullet holes were found on the car.
Israeli soldiers were searching the area for the assailant, who fled the scene. Troops said they found several bullet casings at the location of the shooting.
The incident was the third shooting attack in 36 hours. Wednesday evening saw two shooting attacks — one near Ramallah and the other north of Qalqilya. There were no injuries in either attack.
Also on Wednesday troops shot dead a Palestinian man who rammed his car into a West Bank bus stop north of Jerusalem on Wednesday evening. Israeli civilians and soldiers who were standing at the bus stop were uninjured.
The army said the driver was found to be holding a knife in his hand.
