Israeli forces are still attempting to kill or capture a Palestinian terrorist who opened fire at a minibus earlier this morning near the West Bank settlement of Dolev.

After the initial attack, which caused no injuries, the assailant fled the scene.

Troops searching after the gunman came under fire again, and there have been exchanges of fire over the past few hours.

The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service says four wounded people have been taken to hospital for treatment as a result of the clashes.

There are no immediate details on the conditions of the wounded.

“The exchanges of fire are still ongoing,” the IDF says.

The IDF says it scrambled an attack helicopter and drone in its search for the terrorist.
