The IDF says the seriously wounded victim of the shooting attack on Route 55 in the West Bank earlier was a soldier.
The 19-year-old was on a bus driving through the area, between the Palestinian towns of Azzun and Nabi Ilyas. Another man in a car was moderately hurt.
According to the IDF, the terrorist drove to a junction from a nearby dirt road, got out, and opened fire at several vehicles. He then fled the scene.
The IDF says aircraft were scrambled to the area to search for the terrorist and troops are blocking the entrance to Nabi Ilyas.
