Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the northern Israeli town of Gan Ner, close to the West Bank security barrier, the military says.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, at least one home was hit by the gunfire.

Earlier today, a local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed to have opened fire at the town, along with the West Bank settlement of Mevo Dotan.

There are no injuries in either attack.

The IDF says troops are scanning the area for suspects.
