Shots were fired at a settlement in the northern West Bank on Monday night, the army said.
No one was injured in the incident. The bullets struck an external wall of the Shavei Shomron settlement, northwest of Nablus, a military spokesperson said.
The Israel Defense Forces launched a search to find the person or people responsible for the attack, the army said.
On Saturday, a resident of the nearby Palestinian town of Sebastia was shot dead by Israeli troops after he stabbed three people in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Ahmad Jazal, 17, stabbed two Jewish youths before fleeing, with police forces giving chase. He then stabbed one of the policemen before he was shot.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
