Three IDF soldiers were injured in a shooting on Route 55 near the Palestinian village of Nabi Ilyas in the Shomron on Thursday morning.

Terrorists opened fire from their vehicle while driving by a group of IDF soldiers in the area and then sped off.

Two soldiers suffered gunshot wounds and were evacuated to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, one in moderate condition and one in light condition. A third soldier was very lightly injured and was treated at the scene.

A large number of IDF forces arrived at the scene and launched a manhunt after the terrorists.
