JERUSALEM (AA) - Three Israeli settlers were injured Tuesday due to firing on their vehicle in occupied West Bank.
The Israeli army in a statement said the incident took place near the Ramin junction in northern part of the territory.
The settlers were slightly injured and transferred to a hospital, the military said, adding that it started a manhunt operation to search for the assailants.
No Palestinian group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Military raids and settler attacks in the West Bank escalated after the Gaza war on Oct. 7, 2023. At least 575 Palestinians, including 133 children, have since been killed and nearly 5,350 others injured in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.
