Four IDF soldiers were wounded in a Palestinian car-ramming attack in Samaria in the northern West Bank on Thursday afternoon, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
According to initial reports, the victims — all in their 20s — were hit by a Palestinian vehicle while they were standing at the entrance to the settlement of Beit Aryeh, which is about 20 miles east of Tel Aviv.
One of the victims was seriously wounded, and the three others suffered light-to-moderate injuries.
While IDF and Magen David Adom paramedics were treating the victims at the scene, before evacuating them to the Beilinson Hospital-Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, Israeli security forces set out on a manhunt for the terrorist, who fled.
Earlier in the day, a three-month-old baby boy was lightly wounded when her family car was pummeled by rocks near the Arab village of Hussan, close to the Israeli settlement of Beitar Illit, just south of Jerusalem in the West Bank.
