The assailant or assailants opened fire at vehicles traveling in the area, hitting a bus and a car, lightly wounding the driver of the latter, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. The car was a taxi and the wounded driver was evacuated to the IDF's Samaria Regional Brigade base, and from there to a hospital, according to the military.
The IDF has launched a search in the Nablus area for those responsible for the attack. The incident is the latest in a string of recent security incidents in Judea and Samaria, commonly known as the West Bank, as well as in eastern Jerusalem.
Overnight Saturday, a Palestinian gunman opened fire at an IDF unit operating in Samaria, while a second shooting targeted the Israeli community of Beit El, also in Samaria.
