Two cyclists are hurt after they were hit by a vehicle on Route 5502 near the settlement of Zufim in the West Bank.

Police say they are investigating the incident as a suspected hit-and-run accident.

Eyewitnesses tell Hebrew-language media that the driver fled the scene. Security forces are searching for the driver and vehicle.

The Magen David Adom emergency service says a man in his 30s is seriously hurt, and a woman in her 30s is moderately hurt.

They are being taken to Meir Medical Center and Beilinson hospital, MDA says.

Both police and the IDF dismiss initial reports that the incident was a car-ramming terror attack.
