The IDF believes that yesterday’s deadly shooting attack in the West Bank was carried out by a sole terrorist, who opened fire from the side of the road on motorists.

Because of this assessment, the IDF says it is reorganizing its deployment near Bruchin and working to defoliate the area from which the gunfire was carried out.

The IDF continues to surround the nearby Palestinian towns of Bruqin and Kafr ad-Dik, amid the manhunt for the terrorist.
