The IDF says it has launched a manhunt for the assailants behind a drive-by shooting attack in the West Bank a short while ago.

The attack took place on the Route 55 highway, near the Palestinian village of Nabi Ilyas.

According to an initial probe, the gunman opened fire from a vehicle and fled the scene.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it is taking to the Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba a 25-year-old man in moderate condition and a 34-year-old man who is lightly hurt, both by gunfire.

Another man was treated at the scene for minor injuries, MDA adds.
