An Israel Defense Forces soldier was injured in a car-ramming attack at the Judea Junction in the Hebron area overnight Monday, the military said.
According to the IDF, a terrorist accelerated his vehicle toward troops stationed at the junction, striking and injuring a female soldier. She was evacuated to the hospital for treatment, and her family has been notified.
Troops opened fire at the attacker and scored a hit, the IDF added.
A manhunt is underway, with soldiers carrying out extensive searches and setting up roadblocks across the area in an effort to locate the terrorist.
On Saturday, the IDF launched searches after a terrorist hurled an iron rod at civilian vehicles on Route 5, the Trans-Samaria Highway, shattering a windshield.
The Rescuers Without Borders (Hatzalah Judea and Samaria) group said the vehicle was struck near the Palestinian village of Mas-ha, located some 15 miles southwest of Nablus (Shechem) alongside Route 5.
The driver and passengers were treated for anxiety.
Palestinian terrorists targeted Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria at least 6,343 times in 2024. Twenty-seven Israelis were murdered in Judea and Samaria in 2024, and more than 300 others were wounded, according to Rescuers Without Borders.
