The IDF has launched a manhunt after an Israeli civilian was shot and moderately wounded near the West Bank settlement of Ariel.

According to a military source, it is unclear where exactly the shooting took place. The victim reached Ariel’s industrial park after coming under fire, where he met up with security forces and medics.

Troops are blocking roads and using aerial surveillance amid the searches for the assailant, the source says.
