Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will hold a meeting with military chief Herzi Halevi and head of the Shin Bet security agency, Ronen Bar, on the shooting attack in Huwara that left two soldiers wounded.
Gallant’s office says the meeting will include other senior defense officials.
The Beilinson Hospital says the two soldiers are suffering from serious and moderate injuries after being shot in the West Bank town. They are not in life-threatening condition.
