Two Defense Ministry employees are lightly wounded after a bomb exploded along the West Bank security barrier in the Mount Gilboa area, the military and medics say.
According to an initial probe, the Defense Ministry workers were carrying out a patrol along the border fence in the northern West Bank when they spotted a suspicious item.
The item was then understood to be a bomb, and it exploded and lightly injured the two workers. According to first responders, the pair were hit by shrapnel.
The IDF says it has launched a manhunt for those behind the attack.
