Two off-duty IDF soldiers and two civilians were wounded in a blast near the northern West Bank settlement of Hermesh earlier today, the military says.

The victims are listed in light and moderate condition.

According to an initial IDF probe, the explosive was detonated as one of the Israelis got out of a car and attempted to open a gate on a road in the area of the settlement.

The IDF says it is searching for the assailants who planted the bomb.
