In what was the third terrorist attack in less than 24 hours, an Israeli soldier was lightly wounded in the Binyamin region following a drive-by shooting.

The soldier was manning a guard post in a junction in the area, not far from Jerusalem, when he was hit. According to first responders, the Israel Defense Forces member was treated at the scene and was fully conscious.

The attack comes just hours after a similar incident in the Old City of Jerusalem. A Border Police officer sustained mild injuries on Thursday in that attack, which took place not far from the Temple Mount. Other troops stationed at the scene engaged the terrorist, who was shot dead.

"An assailant approached officers who were stationed near the Lions' Gate and opened fire at them," The Israeli Police said in a statement. "Other officers engaged immediately, firing at the assailant and neutralizing him."

The officer who was shot sustained injuries to his arm and was taken to the hospital for treatment, the police said.

The incident followed another terrorist attack in the capital, in which 12 soldiers were wounded, one seriously, in a ramming attack that took place shortly before 2 a.m. on Jerusalem's David Remez Street.

The Jerusalem District Police said the soldiers were walking down the street when the driver apparently came up behind them, sped up and plowed into the group. He then fled the scene.

Military and police forces have launched a manhunt for the terrorist, whose car was found abandoned near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
