Three soldiers were wounded in the drive-by shooting attack earlier today near the West Bank village of Nabi Ilyas, the IDF says.
The soldiers were carrying out a patrol along Route 55 amid the attack.
One soldier is moderately wounded, while another is listed in good condition. A third soldier was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The IDF says it is searching for the gunmen, bolstering forces in the area, and encircling nearby Palestinian towns.
