Palestinian gunmen carried out three separate shooting attacks against Israeli forces in the West Bank within hours, the military says.
This morning, an army patrol driving along the West Bank security barrier near the northern Israeli kibbutz of Meirav came under fire.
The Israel Defense Forces says a military vehicle was damaged in the attack, but no soldiers were wounded.
In another attack this morning, a Palestinian gunman opened fire from the West Bank town of Dayr Sharaf toward a nearby army post, the IDF says.
The IDF says the post was hit by the gunfire, and no injuries were caused. Troops scanning the area for the suspect found several shell casings.
In a separate attack overnight, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the Salem checkpoint in the northern West Bank.
No injuries were caused in that attack either, and the IDF says troops found shell casings in the nearby Palestinian village of Zububa.
During the past year, Palestinian gunmen have repeatedly targeted army posts in the West Bank, as well as settlements and civilians on the road.
