Two separate terrorist shooting attacks were reported Tuesday, less than a day after the end of the Yom Kippur holiday.
The first attack took place Tuesday morning outside of the Palestinian Authority-administered village of Shuweika, in the Tulkarem district in Samaria, when an Arab terrorist opened fire at a group of IDF soldiers stationed at an army post near the town.
According to a statement by the IDF, the soldiers returned fire, but did not confirm a hit.
The army has launched a manhunt for the terrorist.
During preliminary searches following the attack, bullet casings were located on the outskirts of Shuweika.
No injuries were reported in the attack.
Hours later, a second shooting attack was reported in the Jordan Valley, when terrorists opened fire on a passing vehicle near the Hamra Junction.
No injuries were reported in the second attack, and the IDF has launched searches for the terrorists involved.
Five terrorists were arrested during Israeli counter-terror sweeps of Judea and Samaria, with one terrorist arrested and a gun confiscated in Deir Samat, near Hebron, and four more terrorists taken into custody in the village of Silwad, near Ramallah.
