A group of Israeli hikers came under fire while traveling by bus near the Mevo Dotan settlement in Samaria on Monday, the army said.
Israeli soldiers securing the passenger bus returned fire, injuring one Palestinian suspect. The extent of the suspect's injuries was not immediately known. He received medical treatment on site before being evacuated to a nearby hospital.
IDF forces pursued the second suspect who fled the scene, but the army said in a later statement he surrendered to security forces and was transferred for questioning.
There were no injuries reported among Israeli civilians or soldiers.
"There were no injuries. Troops who were guarding [the group] returned fire. One Palestinian was injured and captured. A manhunt is underway for the second terrorist," a statement sent to residents of Mevo Dotan said.
