Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a military post near the northern West Bank town of Yabed, the Israel Defense Forces says.
The IDF says several bullets struck the post, but no soldiers are hurt.
Troops returned fire, and are now scanning the area for the suspects, the IDF says.
During the past year, Palestinian gunmen have repeatedly targeted army posts in the West Bank, as well as settlements and civilians on the road.
