Three Israelis were wounded, one seriously, while traveling in a vehicle north of Ramallah in the West Bank. The other two suffered moderate injuries. According to preliminary reports, the three were injured when a bomb exploded alongside their vehicle and then shots were fired at the passengers.
Magen David Adom medical teams arrived at the scene and were treating the wounded. THIS WAS THE FOURTH TERROR ATTACK CARRIED OUT SUNDAY.
Earlier in the West Bank, four people were injured, one seriously, after a bus was fired on early Sunday afternoon as it was traveling between the settlements of Avnei Hefetz and Einav, near Tul Karm.
One person sustained light-to-moderate injuries and two were lightly injured in the shooting. All the injured were evacuated to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera.
Security forces believe the attack was a drive-by shooting. Exchanges of gunfire between Palestinians and IDF soldiers continued in the area even after the wounded had been evacuated.
Soldiers thwart attempt to infiltrate Gaza settlement from sea
Overnight Saturday, IDF troops foiled an attempted Palestinian infiltration into the settlement of Dugit in the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reported.
Troops from the Givati Brigade shot dead a Palestinian frogman who swam along the Gaza coast, emerging close to the settlement armed with hand grenades and a Kalashnikov rifle, the radio said.
He was shot dead several hundred meters from the settlement's security fence.
Palestinians fired an anti-tank missile overnight Saturday at a settlement in the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza Strip, Israel Radio said.
No injuries or damage were reported.
Nablus crackdown enters third day
The IDF crackdown on Hamas activists in the West Bank city of Nablus entered its third day Sunday, with troops still carrying out house-to-house searches in the city.
Palestinians reported Sunday that the IDF had demolished a number of houses at various locations across the West Bank.
The army said Saturday that its troops had detained for questioning two Palestinians suspected of involvement in terrorist activities. Soldiers also found two pipe bombs and handguns during their searches, the statement said.
Troops took over the casbah (old city) in Nablus overnight Friday, in an attempt to smash the terror group's infrastructure.
The incursion was sparked by Wednesday's bombing at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem which killed seven people, including five American citizens. Hamas claimed responsibility for the bombing.
