One person is moderately hurt in a shooting attack in the northern West Bank, the military and medics say.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the apparent drive-by shooting attack occurred near the so-called British Police junction on the Route 60 highway, close to the West Bank town of Silwad.

The man was part of a group of joggers staging a Memorial Day run in memory of fallen soldiers.

The Magen David Adom says a 28-year-old Israeli man is lightly hurt in his hand from the gunfire, and is being taken to Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.

The military says that troops are scanning the area for suspects and have set up roadblocks to aid in the hunt.
