The IDF says four soldiers were wounded in the shooting attack earlier today near the West Bank city of Ariel.
The soldiers are all lightly hurt, according to the IDF.
The Hamas terrorist had opened fire on a civilian bus, wounding several people including three in serious condition, before being shot dead by troops stationed in the area.
Hebrew media outlets report that one of those seriously wounded in the attack was the bus driver, Hassan Elsachen, who is being treated at Bellinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
