The Israel Defense Forces says Palestinian gunmen fired from a passing vehicle at a military post near the Herodion National Park in the West Bank, not far from Bethlehem.
Troops scanning the area for the attackers spotted a suspicious car, from which suspects were seen hurling a bag, the IDF says.
The military says troops fired into the air to stop the car with two suspects.
A shell casing from a bullet was found in the car, and a handgun and several M16 magazines were found in the bag thrown from the vehicle, the IDF says.
“The pair were arrested and their car was impounded,” the military adds.
