The IDF is hunting for the suspect in today’s shooting attack in the West Bank.

The military says a Palestinian gunman opened fire on Israeli civilians near the northern West Bank settlement of Adei Ad this morning.

According to the IDF, “a physical confrontation developed” between the assailant and civilians in the area, during which one Israeli man was lightly injured and taken to a hospital.

“IDF troops are now encircling the village of al-Mughayyir and other villages and conducting a manhunt for the terrorist,” the military says.
