IDF probes West Bank attempted shooting as terror attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says it has opened an investigation into an attempted shooting attack on an Israeli vehicle by a Palestinian man near the Hawara Junction in the northern West Bank.
According to witnesses, the Palestinian man approached the Israeli vehicle with three people inside — the driver and two hitchhikers in the back — pointed his rifle and tried to fire, the army says.
The shooter’s gun jammed, giving the driver time to get out of the car and confront the attacker, firing twice in the air.
The suspect managed to flee the scene and the IDF has launched a manhunt.
No one was injured as a result of the incident, the army says.
