An Israel Defense Force soldier was lightly wounded Tuesday when shots were fired at the army minibus in which he was traveling through the Hebron Hills, in the West Bank.
The shots were fired from a car which sped by on the road. No other passengers were hurt.
Army reinforcements summoned to the scene gave chase but the assailants fled into a nearby village.
The car used by the gunmen was later found abandoned on the outskirts of Hebron. It had been stolen recently from within the Green Line, Israel’s pre-1967 borders.
